Things to consider....

There are a number of factors you need to be aware of completing this event.

• There are low bridges (if you are over 6' Tall)

• Whilst we work closely with the land owners (CRT) parts of the route may be lined with overhanging trees, bush, nettles and thorns.

• Parts of the route are narrow to pass along.

• Other users on the route such as cyclists, walkers, other runners, People fishing who may be going the opposite direction to you.

• Wildlife such as Geese and Swans, who may have young with them.

• A variety of different ground types, such as concrete, gravel, grass.

• Loose bricks, anchor points, rope and raised brick work also contribute to trip hazards.

Our charity partners the Royal Life Saving Society UK have provided the following water safety advice, which we recommend familiarising yourself with prior to the event:

• Whether running or walking, stay well clear of the edge in case parts are unstable, slippy or have trip hazards.

• Try to stick together with other runners in case of an emergency situation

• Take a fully-charged mobile phone, ideally in a waterproof holder

• If you see somebody in trouble in the water, do not enter to rescue – call 999 and ask for the Fire and Rescue service, then throw something in that floats to help them if possible

• If you fall into the water yourself, stay calm, float on your back and call for help
