road crossings
Long & Medium courses run through residential areas of the village. Please be courteous to residents providing a responsible social distance and be careful when rounding corners.
Long & Medium courses will involve crossing quiet roads and therefore runners should consider using reflective clothing to enhance visibility to road users and to pedestrians.
All courses will be on parkland next to the river, which may be high at the time of the event. There will be either control sites or route choice that take you on a footpath near to the river and therefore you should avoid going too close to the river at any time.
