TOILETS

There will be toilets available near the Race HQ and further toilet blocks can be found in the Main Square. Please note there are no changing or shower facilities available.

THE START & PACE SEEDING

The start assembly area is on Lodge Drive facing the front of Longleat House. It is approx. 10 mins walk from the car park/ toilets so leave plenty of time to get there. We will be operating voluntary seeding. At the start there will be signs placed at intervals along the start area road indicating e.g. sub 7- minute, sub 8-minute and sub 9-minute mile pace. Please line up at a time slot that equates to your predicted running speed, this will ensure there is minimum passing in the first kilometre.

SUPPORTERS

Supporters can enter the grounds free of charge and should park as directed. Please arrive before 9:30am as the car park will be cut off by the start of the race at this time. Please note that Longleat House and attractions are not open on the day.

TRAFFIC

The race is on private roads of the Longleat Estate except for a short section through Horningsham Village where runners will be directed by marshals to keep left. The route is designed to avoid conflict with car drivers arriving at the car parks as far as possible.
