Race limits
There will be a limit on entries accepted of 800 for the marathon and 200 teams for the relay. No further entries will be accepted once the race entry limit has been reached, even if this is before the official closing date. Early entry is advised.
NO ENTRIES WILL BE ACCEPTED ON THE DAY
Refunds
We regret that once applications have been processed we cannot refund fees to runners who do not eventually take part. Like all events, entry fees are used to hire the venue equipment etc. Therefore, we do not issue any refunds after entry.
Ill or Injured
If you are ill or injured, then you should not run for your own safety. For insurance reasons you cannot give your number to someone else to run in your place. Swapping numbers may result in disqualification. If a runner cannot complete they should notify the entry secretary before the event, Tel: 0797 137 1100

Marshals will be on duty to show you where to park near the sports centre (Lea Manor Recreation Centre, Northwell Drive, Luton LU3 3TL).
