Safety
On Course You must always remain fully aware of your surroundings and look out for uneven surfaces, obstacles or vehicles. Even where the road is closed, we cannot guarantee it will be traffic-free. Only proceed where you are satisfied it is safe to do so.
Medics Medical services will be provided by St John ambulance. In the case of an emergency, marshals or race crew will contact the on-site medical team in the first instance and - should there be any delay - dial 111.
Important! In certain circumstances, on-site medicals may be able to respond to an emergency faster than 111.
Marshals Please obey the marshals where they are acting for your safety. Marshals can make emergency calls on your behalf or contact event medical staff.
