There are parking spaces for runners near the Cellar Door and Tasting Room with a donation charge of £5 for single use parking; parking is free for vehicles carrying two or more runners according to the event car sharing criteria.
Entry is limited to 75 spaces and the event is restricted to local runners to reduce travel and ecological impact. The stated registration fee is £12.50, of which £8 will be donated to the WOLO Foundation. Medical cover will be provided by MedExPlus, who have donated their fee to WOLO.
Race administration notes include bibs issued before the race and the requirement to wear the race number on the front of the shirt.
