PARKING
Parking is limited at Glebelands, and everyone is encouraged to car share as much as possible. Car park marshals will guide you into available spaces or into the overflow car park on arrival. If on-site parking fills up, you should park in the residential area surrounding Bank Street NP19 7HF. Please do this sensibly and sympathetically to residents.
TOILETS
Toilet facilities will be available at Newport Indoor Bowls Centre. If you wish to use these, you will be required to remove your footwear. There will be a marshal on the door ensuring this rule is adhered to. Please respect the request of the Bowls Club by doing this. Runners are also reminded that the Glebelands is a public space and should be used with consideration for other park users. Please don't jeopardise future races or our relationship with the local community by ignoring this request.

OTHER INFO
START & SPECTATOR AREAS
The start is a short walk from the main car park, adjacent to the M4 flyover. You are advised to leave your kit either in your vehicle or in your club area. Please do not leave kit at the start area. There will be plenty of available space for clubs to set up club areas.
The club areas will be located parallel to the finishing straight. Please move to this area when you finish, where it will be possible to cheer your teammates in. Please do not use the course to cool down once you have finished.
RACE NUMBER / TIMING CHIPS
No number/chip = no result for you (don't start without one)
Wear the number most recently allocated - if you use an old one you find at home and it's not currently registered to you, you will not appear in the results.
Please make sure you do not hold your hand over your number/chip when you cross the finish line - hold arms to side or above your head. You may not get registered by the system and the backup video at the finish will not record your number.
Please do not get close to the timing equipment (finish) once you've been through the finish once. Repeated 'pings' slow down the results system.
Please do not take unused chips (from runners who are not running) close to the finish.... otherwise, those not attending will appear in the results.
