Race packs and T-shirts
Collection is from Pirates Club (on the patio in front of the Clubhouse) on every Saturday and Sunday in February from 8am-10am. Please be prepared to show the volunteer your final confirmation email or know your race number. Remember, you don't need to collect before you run.
Due to the unprecedented demand t-shirts are limited to the first 1200 entrants only. As indicated on the entry form tshirts were sold out if you entered after midday on Sunday 24 January. If you were not given the option to select a t-shirt size you will unfortunately not be receiving a t-shirt in your race pack.
