What do I need on the day?

Be Prepared for the Day

The Run can be a long and active day, so being well prepared is essential.

Early March can still be chilly, so make sure to dress appropriately and bring a bottle of water. A packed lunch is optional — most groups prefer to bring some money and grab something to eat while out on the route.

You’ll also need a mobile phone with data as the Run operates in real time. Our official app (available on iOS and Android) is your essential companion — you’ll use it to check in, track team stats, complete challenges, and take part in the quiz.

Finally, don’t underestimate the importance of comfortable footwear. You’ll be on your feet for much of the day, and while the route is flat, the wrong shoes will quickly make you regret it!
