# When is the Run, and when do bookings open?

The Run takes place on the **first Saturday in March** each year. Bookings for it open the previous **November**.

We announce the exact opening date and time on our [Facebook page](https://www.facebook.com/MonopolyRun) and on [our website](https://monopoly-run.co.uk/) beforehand — you don't need a Facebook account to read the posts. Bookings open in the evening, and spaces go quickly, so it's worth watching for the announcement rather than checking back through November.

Have your player details ready before then. There's a [cap on places](https://help.monopoly-run.co.uk/en/article/how-many-teams-and-players-can-we-bring-thlcc2/) and it has been reached in as little as three days.

⚠️ **Don't book trains or accommodation until your place is secured.** If the Run sells out or is altered in any way, we can't guarantee you a replacement place, and we can't accept liability for travel, accommodation or other third-party costs. If you do book ahead anyway, make sure those bookings are fully refundable or flexible.
