COURSE
The race starts and finishes on the cycle track please be aware of walkers, cyclists, dog walkers etc. run with appropriate caution.
The route starts and finishes at the Heritage Railway Station and heads out to Forgeside via the Big Pit. Please be aware of pot holes and uneven surface on parts of the track. Marshals will guide you through the Big Pit and onto Forgeside, obey marshal instructions at all times.
The route through Forgeside to Blaenafon is on minor roads, please keep to the left hand side of the road and follow marshal instructions. When you get to Church Road stay on the Pavement as directed by the marshal, the route turns left into Kennard Place and into Gilchrist Thomas Industrial Estate. You will head through the estate heading back towards the Big Pit but getting onto the cycle just after Rhymney Brewery.
On the cycle track you will proceed north towards Garn lakes. Please keep to the right hand side on this section as faster runners will be returning on this section of the cycle track. At Garn Lakes marshals will direct you to the lakes to complete a small loop before returning to the cycle track heading back towards Blaenafon. At Forgeside you come off the cycle track and return to the start the way you came, keep to the RHS of the road through Forgeside.
Marshals are positioned around the course to direct you the right way.

OTHER INFO
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.
