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.
• 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. When not racing, we encourage you to reach the top by using an alternative route up Providence lane.
• When you finish your run up Belmont, stay at the top and cheer on the other climbers! Let’s keep the electric vibe that we’ve had in the last couple of years and build on it. After the last rider finishes everyone will return to HQ, return their numbers and can indulge in some well deserved coffee and cake before the prize giving.
• 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!
• Have fun!
