RACE DAY INFORMATION

There will be plenty of marshals on the course, however, if you decide to run alongside your child, please start at the back of the race and ensure that only your child crosses the finish line. If parents/ guardians accidentally cross the line, this could affect both the results and the photos.

Race Pack/Race number

Race numbers will be collected on the day from the event HQ. Please arrive early so you have plenty of time to collect your number. The race number (which includes a timing chip on the reverse) should be visibly pinned to the front of the participants tee shirt or vest. Pins will be available on the day if you need them. Please ensure you complete the important safety information on the reverse of your number. If your child is unable to take part, please let us know so we can remove their name from our start list. If you wish to transfer a place to next year or another runner, please contact Sport Systems at least 2 weeks before the race date at:- enquiries@sportsystems.co.uk

If a race number is passed to another runner without advising the organizer or Sport Systems, the runner will be disqualified and omitted from the results. By wearing somebody else's number the results will be incorrect.

Water Station

There will be water available at the finish. Please only take one cup and refill if necessary as we aim to be as environmentally friendly as possible. If you need additional water, please carry a bottle with you. 

HeaDphones

There is a change to UKA Rule T55 S5 regarding headphones. This means the license standard now requires that no headphones other than bone-conducting headphones are permitted in any race where the route is shared with other users. This includes, but is not limited to, parks, seafront promenades, footpaths, bridleways, roads, and open spaces.

Results

Results will be available shortly after the event on the Sport Systems website.  They will be available on this website too: https://www.eastbourneruns.co.uk/

Medals

Medals will be available for the 1-mile junior race as the children cross the line.

Parking

There is limited seafront and local street parking. Not all parking is free & the parking attendants can be keen so where needed, ensure you put enough money in to cover your run time. Where possible car share, use public transport, cycle, jog or walk to the start.

Toilets

There is a toilet block located next to the start. We recommend you bring a debit card as the council may be charging to use the facilities.

Baggage Drop 

There will be a baggage drop next to Race HQ. Should you leave any belongings with us you do so at your own risk. Volunteers will be manning the area. We will not be held responsible for any losses. 

Charity

To raise awareness of Adelaide's genetic disorder STXBP1 and to pay for future medical treatment or therapy for her needs.
