DRINK STATION: There will be a water & energy drinks station at 5km and at the finish.
TIMING: All runners will be provided with a D-Tag timing chip located on the back of their running number, This will record your individual time from when you personally cross the start line to when you cross the finish line.
MARSHALS: Good marshals are positioned at all key points along the course. When approaching road junctions, they will guide you along the easiest, safest route. Please listen to their instructions and refrain from deciding on your own route. It will only put both yourself & other road users in danger.
KILOMETER MARKERS: There will be clear Kilometer Marker signs throughout the course. Once on the beach you will see the finish line with at least half a mile to go, which is positioned along Abersoch Beach.
THE FINISH: The finish is clearly visible along Abersoch beach. You must cross the finish line and over the timing pad to get an authorised official finishing time. There will be a finish clock that will show the time from the gun, but your official time will be determined from when you actually cross the start & finish line, where the timing pad is positioned. Times will be available from the TDL Event Services Website straight after the race.
