Taking part or supporting a runner
Sunday includes other distances and relays. Check your selected race's own page for entry conditions and its starting point; a shared event centre does not mean every distance starts in the same place. Distances and official information.
Spectators should choose a meeting point for the specific race. Knowing the start time alone does not establish when a runner will arrive.
This preview uses the 2026 programme checked on 15 September. Plan for road closures and race-number collection only from the organiser's current notices.
