We are looking forward to welcoming you to the event tomorrow!

It is forecast to be a breezy day tomorrow with light showers throughout the morning. Rain is due this afternoon / overnight tonight but hopefully this has more or less cleared by the time we welcome you to the event in the morning. The trails will be wet underfoot.

If you have supporters coming with you, please draw their attention to the suggested viewing points along the route - contained within the Spectator Info sheet. Please ask them to pay particular attention to where we ask for no spectating! It is also worth noting that there is currently a road closure to the West of Corfe Castle.

Bib collection: Just a reminder that all bib numbers are 'collect at event' (i.e. numbers are not posted out ahead of time).

You can collect a bib number:

- At the main event marquee in Swanage upon arrival.

- Alternatively, if you are an Ultra, Half Marathon or 10K participant and you are making your own way to the start line (i.e. not using the optional coach service), then you can collect directly from the team at the start.
