There will be marshals on key junctions on the routes to assist, we have a private first aid company with an ambulance, and a bike breakdown vehicle.  There will be directional signage for where a marshal isn’t required.  The race is being overseen by the sport’s governing body, British Triathlon, and we will have a technical official present at the event and motorcycle officials on the bike routes.

We will be putting up signage in the week running up to the event and aim to take this down within 2 days after the event.

We don’t expect the volume of participants to create any significant issues, and we hope drivers will be patient and pass cyclists and runners safely.  It would be great if people came out to cheer the athletes on – it’ll be a big (and tough) day for many of them!
