Team packs, badges and when locations are revealed

Your digital team pack arrives by text on the morning of the Run. Badges are collected on the day from St Bride Institute, between 10am and 4pm.

When do we get to see the exact locations?

In the team pack on the morning — that's the first time the exact spots are revealed.

Before then, group coordinators can view a redacted preview of the pack in the booking system. It outlines which locations you'll be visiting without pinpointing the exact spot along the road or street, which is plenty for planning your day. Ask your coordinator if you'd like to see it.

How do we get the digital pack?

On the morning of the Run we text each team's registered phone number a personalised link to download that team's unique pack. It contains your locations, your start time and your app login details.

🔒 Please don't share your download link with anyone outside your team.

The night before, coordinators can also see all their teams' login codes in the booking system. That's your backup if a text doesn't arrive.

Can we have a paper copy?

Yes — one hard copy per team, collected from a marshal on the day. Coordinators are sent a QR code the night before, by email and in the booking system; the marshal scans it to issue your group's packs.

⚠️ Packs are only issued at your group's allocated Start Zone — so if your zone is Regents Park, you can't collect them at Waterloo — and only if your group hasn't already collected them.

Where and when do we collect badges?

📍 St Bride Institute, just off Fleet Street — see it on Google Maps. Collection is open 10am until 4pm on the day, so build a visit into your plan.

The group coordinator or a nominated leader presents the same QR code used for the team packs. St Bride's doubles as a pit-stop while you're there: a selection of drinks is available, and there are toilets.

⚠️ This is the only opportunity to collect your badges. We don't post them out before or after the Run, so if your group doesn't collect on the day we can't get them to you later.
