Double or Quit Race Start Time
Saturday 25th August 5:00pm
Car Parking
We anticipate the queues for the car parking to be one of the bottlenecks at the event please arrive early and car share if possible.
There are 200 spaces on the main Pay and Display Car Park at the visitors centre, payment will be required and is £2.90 for 4 hours.
We have been advised that enforcement on Saturday will cease at 6pm not 8 as advertised.
There are two Pay and Display payment machines, the one nearest the visitor’s centre is card payment only the other is cash, please make sure you get in the correct queue and check the machines first.
There is plenty of alternative and free parking around the industrial area before getting to the park. If making use of this please park sensibly so as not to create any issues for us.
Collection of Race Numbers and Timing Chip
You can collect your Race Number from 3:00pm from the Green Room at the Shipley Country Park Visitor centre.
The Collection point will be sign posted from the car park.
There will be four to five desks in the Green Room. Desk 1 will have race numbers 1-99, desk 2 100- 199 and so on.
Please remember your race number and collect it from the appropriate desk.
We will have the names and race numbers on large posters on the walls if you forget.
The timing chip is contained within the race number, so the race number MUST be worn on the front of your running vest at all times. If you complete the race without a number, you will not be registered as a finisher. Once you have collected your race number, please make your way to the race village.
Please do not cross any timing controls whilst wearing your bib once you have completed the race.
Drinks Stations
Water will be available at 2.8, 5, 7.8 and 10 miles.
Toilets
There will be portable toilets available for use around the main start area.
Course
The route is two laps, each lap being identical to the course taken last year.
You can finish after one lap or continue on to do a second lap then finish.
The Start and Finish is the same for everyone.
Those doing two laps will need to run straight on at the split point, continuing up the trail to the marshalled left turn into the park, across the lap timing mat to re-join the course and continue your second lap.
Upon completion of your second lap you will simply head to the finish line by taking a left turn at the split point.
On the Day updates
All updates on the day will be posted on the Double or Quit Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/DoubleorQuit
Final note
Please can we finally ask you to take home any flyers and responsibly dispose of any rubbish you have on the day.
I look forward to seeing you on Saturday 25th and hope that you have a great race.
Any problems or questions please do not hesitate to contact us through our Facebook page.
