Can you please wear a face mask until the minute?
We can’t have a bag store but you can put your bits in your add bag. They will be kept in numbered order.
The is The last train will leave Dartford at 11.31pm to London.
Last year we had a few people stay over in the Marquee.

All 3 races will start at the same time. Bag drop will be at registration.
There will be a short race brief at 5.30pm then we will walk you to the start that’s about 400m away.
Race run through
You will all run one small lap around the lake before you start the main circuit (2k).
If you are taking part in the half, you will come to a turn point when you are on the 1st main (5k lap) you only turn here once only. We will have someone turning you so don’t worry.
For the next 3 laps you will complete the full 5k lap.
Everyone else you carry on past this point
This will be marked on the map at registration.
Parking
We now only have the one car park now. If you can share that will help us a lot.
Sainsbury’s distribution car park Rennie Drive, Dartford DA1 5FD, there will be arrows directing you in. Please park carefully and don’t leave any rubbish behind. We are very lucky that they let us use their car park.
The car park is only 300m from the race start.
There will be a rest area that you can go to after the race with free drinks and snacks.
We do have a tea wagon this year but we are not sure how long they will stay.
We will be staying overnight on site if anyone wants to stay just let me know.
We will be giving out Aid bags to everyone. This so you can put inside anything you may need during the night.
The run is around 2 lakes so the temperature does drop. One year it was over 25 degrees when we started. By 10m it was under 10 degrees.
It’s also looking like we will have rain at some point during the night.
We will be giving out High 5 energy drinks and water at the main water station by the finish.
If it’s a warm night, there will a second water station that will only be giving out water.
There will also be a supply of jelly babies at both water stations.
