Water Stations
We have decided to add a 4th Water station. This year will see two water stations hosted by the wonderful team at Barnabus Church which you pass twice in the first 6 miles. This is at 3.5 and 5.5 miles. Please keep on the right hand side of the road during this part of the race. There will be plenty of signage up to remind you of this. The 3rd Water station is roughly 8.75 miles in and the new final Water station will be around the 11 mile marker.
