Other questions
Entry opens on 1 July 2026 and runs until 23:59 on 30 September 2026. Registration closes early if the field fills, so entering sooner is safer.
No. This event has no athlete reception. Your athlete bib and timing chip are posted to you around late October, so bring both with you on the day. If you cancel your entry, please return the timing chip.
For the half marathon and 10km, runners registered with a regional athletics association must add their 2026 registration details to their RUNNET My Page before applying. If your registration is still being processed, select your planned association and enter 'application pending' in the registration number and registration group fields, then update it before the deadline once your details arrive. If your regional association no longer issues registration numbers, enter 'no number' in the registration number field.
