10K 2012

 

the time has come to make final preparations for this Sunday's Up and Running 10K. We hope you have enjoyed your training and are ready for a fantastic morning of racing! 
 
In order to aid your final preparations, please read the information below carefully. Further information is available via www.facebook.com/racetimingsystemsltd
 
The race starts at 10:30 Sunday 9th December and we will have a race briefing around 10:15. Please allow enough time to arrive and prepare.
 

Registration and collecting your race pack

To clarify, you have 2 options. If it is convenient for you, then you can collect your registration pack from the Up & Running store Milton Keynes before Sunday. However, if you prefer. You can collect your registration pack on race day morning between 9-10am. Race HQ is now located at LA Fitness, Brickhill Street, Milton Keynes MK15 0DS.

We at RTS Events (as fellow athletes), want to make every effort to ensure that race day runs as smoothly as possible. We decided that given the strain that the postal service experiences at this time of year and the added pressure of local flooding, this is the most reliable option of uniting you with your pack in time for your race.

As you are probably aware, there has been substantial flooding in the area recently, so we have had to utilise our 'Back Up route'. The route will start at LA Fitness, Brickhill Street, Milton Keynes MK15 0DS located by Willen lake. LA fitness have parking facilities charged at 80p/hour, so you will need change.

Chip timing - Race Timing Systems

Your pack contains your timing chip. It is vital that you read the information below in order to fix your chip correctly to your shoe.

 


Please find below the Chip Instructions for The Up & Running 10K 2012

 

Chip Instructions

Please make sure you chip forms one large loop. Do not crush it,  tuck it into your laces, or flatten it in any way. Make sure its one large loop.
