The race starts at 0830 on the middle prom, 100m west of the Bandstand. (BN21 3AD). The race finishes at the same location. The race WILL NOT be starting at Holywell this year.

Race packs will be sent out approx. 2 weeks before the race date. Your race number (which includes your timing chip) should be visibly pinned to the front of your tee shirt or vest. Pins will be available on the day if you need them. Please ensure you complete the important safety information on the reverse of your number. If you ordered a 10k tee shirt or vest it will be included in the pack. If you are unable to participate, please let us know so we can remove your name from our start list. No refunds are available but if you wish to transfer your place to next year or another runner, please contact Sport Systems at least 2 weeks before the race date at:- enquiries@sportsystems.co.uk

If a race number is passed to another runner without advising the organiser or Sport Systems, the runner will be disqualified and omitted from the results.

There will be one water station at approximately the half way mark outside the Sea Cadet Centre. We will be using disposable cups which we kindly ask you to dispose of as instructed by the Sea Cadets. Please only take one cup and refill if necessary as we aim to be as environmentally friendly as possible. If you need additional water, please carry a bottle with you. There will also be water available at the finish.

There is a change to UKA Rule T55 S5 regarding headphones. This means the licence standard now requires that no headphones other than bone-conducting headphones are permitted in any race where the route is shared with other users. This includes, but is not limited to, parks, seafront promenades, footpaths, bridleways, roads, and open spaces.

Results will be available shortly after the event on the Sport Systems website. They will be available on this website too.

You will also be sent a text message to the mobile number provided at the point of entry with your result.

There is limited seafront and local street parking. Not all parking is free & the parking attendants can be keen so where needed, ensure you put enough money in to cover your run time. Where possible car share, use public transport, cycle, jog or walk to the start. There is free parking along the seafront if you are prepared to have a 10 -20 min walk to the start.

There is a toilet block located next to the start which the council have assured us will be open from 0730 at the latest. There are also additional toilets on route including those at Holywell and Fisherman’s Green.

There will be a baggage drop next to Race HQ. Should you leave any belongings with us you do so at your own risk. Volunteers will be manning the area. We will not be held responsible for any losses.

We look forward to seeing you on race day. Please email Eastbourne10km@gmail.com with any additional race day questions.
