We are looking forward to seeing you over the weekend for the March Skyline races!
Here are some important reminders for race day
1) Bibs - all race numbers are collected on race day. You will collect your race number from your Event Wave desk (not race wave) - see the schedule. BUT if you have registered as part of an official group (10+ runners) then an envelope will be available to collect from EVENT INFO with you group's numbers. Liaise with your team caption now to work out who collects the envelope and where the numbers are distributed.
2) Start lists - these are now published on our website. Please check your wave numbers and remember you collect your bibs by Event Wave not race wave. Note sometimes colours are used twice. Look up your race number to save time on the day.
Make sure you look up your Event Wave ahead of time to save confusion!
3) Parking - Free car parking so long as you park in our event car park, it is a Permit Only Car Park, but we have hired it for the event so you do not a permit or to pay. Follow the white and Red Relish Running signs to the event car park, do not enter the University through the main entrance. More details on the Race Day page.
4) Race start - please read the schedule to see what time your race starts. There are a number of waves for each event. Make sure you note your Event Wave as this is how runners will be called to the start. Note sometimes different Event Waves have the same colour numbers, but different number ranges. Any wave jumpers will be disqualified.
5) Waves - you cannot change race waves. All race waves are now fixed and you cannot change on the day. You can change event distance by reporting to Event Info to fill out a form to get a new race number.
6) On the days? Can people still register on the day - Yes! We have spaces in the following waves and start times;
Saturday 25th March - 10km with a 19:00 start time
Saturday 25th March - 5km with a 19:10 start time
Sunday 26th March - Canicross 10km with a 10:00 start time

Sunday 26th March - 10km with a 11:00 start time
Sunday 26th March - 5km with a 11:10 start time
Aim to arrive 60mins before your start time to allow time to register, or to collect your number if you are pre registered.
7) Night Race - No head or chest torch = no race for the night run. Pack it in your bag now!
8) Bag drop - we have a bag drop at registration
9) Toilets - we have portaloos and men's urinals in the race car park. We recommend you come to the race changed and ready to race. A change of clothes and shoes for the drive home might be a good idea as the course is pretty muddy in places.
10) Results - we aim to postProvisional Results by 10pm Saturday and 6pm Sunday.
11) Headphones - Only bone conducting headphones are permitted
12) RACE PHOTOS Our photographers will be adding the race photos to our page on The Search Factory as quickly as they can following the event, with photos coming online late Sunday night. You can register your interest now via the link above and you will be notified when the photos go live. There is an automatic 10% saving on photos ordered by midnight Tuesday!
You can search by Bib or by Selfie to find all your photos and they are available to purchase at very good rates.
13) T-Shirts - We have our new Relish t-shirts featuring Sham Castle which both the night and day races run past. The t-shirts are made from recycled plastic bottles available to buy on the day; light weight and breathable, in male and female cuts, red and black colours.
