2023 LRRL - Race 2

Information

A measured single lap 6 mile course. Course profile is challenging with two steep hills, but the scenery makes the effort worthwhile (honest!).

Parking – please car share wherever possible

The following car parks will be available for runners in order of distance to the start – (closest first):

• Kibworth High School, Smeeton Road, Kibworth (LE8 0LG) – this car park will be closed until 0900 except for Disabled Drivers and Race Officials. Only cars with 3 or more occupants will be allowed entry into this car park. Cars will not be able to exit this car park between 10 a.m. and 10.45 a.m.

• Kibworth Health Centre, Smeeton Road, Kibworth (LE8 0LG) – small number of places

• Kibworth Grammar School Hall, School Road, Kibworth, LE8 0EW • Kibworth Cricket Club, Fleckney Road, Kibworth, LE8 0HG – this car park is a fair walk to Race HQ and the start line.

Safety

Please remind runners to be prepared for whatever the weather decides to do. In March it can be cold (with increased risk of hypothermia - exposure’) or warmer – please adjust clothing and preparations as needed.

The age restriction is 17 years and above for runners.

Please ask runners not to take their “cool-down” in the direction of the oncoming race runners. This is dangerous due to oncoming traffic and is a likely “disqualification” for any runner that ignores the marshals’ directions.

It would be preferable for those wanting to “cool-down” to do so towards and around Kibworth village – while taking the necessary care of themselves and others in respect of traffic and other pedestrians.

While we understand that runners might want to provide support to runners finishing later than themselves, can we please ask that there is no “coaching” of other runners either on foot or by bike at the finish or elsewhere on the course. (It can be particularly confusing for those managing the

finish when runners appear to finish twice).

Please remind runners that headphones are not permitted and if worn runners may be asked to leave the race resulting in disqualification.

Cancellation of Race

The event could be cancelled on the day (or earlier) if extremely poor weather is encountered, the last dynamic risk assessment finds a major issue rendering the race unsafe, number of runners exceeding 600 limit, a “no show” for medical provision, and unsafe parking of cars around the immediate area of the school causing obstructions to householder and the route race.
