HQ will be based in Barrow Gurney Village Hall, which will be open from 8.15am to sign in and collect race numbers. Please return your number to HQ after racing.
Important information for race day:
Please allow 10-15 minutes to get from HQ to the course start
There is little space at the start so please do not arrive more than 3 minutes before your start time
Please descend the hill in a safe manner, in particular the last corner on the descent is quite tight so please don’t end up in the hedge!
After the finish there is a
junction with Flax Bourton Road so please watch for traffic turning onto
Belmont hill from the left. You may wish
to cool down in the car park on the opposite side of the road; marshals will be
on hand to assist with crossing the road.
Please avoid making U-turns
particularly before the start and finish of the course
Some construction HGVs have been utilising this road
recently so be alert for them as they may veer slightly onto the wrong side of
the road around the bends
Please keep non-racing activities on Belmont to an absolute minimum, if you do have to ascent the course prior/after your time do so in a respectful way to other riders who may be racing at that time. And do so without your number on or you may get an unfavourable time!!
Please encourage friends and family to come and spectate and cheer on, and try and return the favour yourself to other athletes who fuelled you on!
