ANYONE looking to park at Cantley Park will be disappointed: there is no parking for runners on the site.
Instead, organisers recommend using council car parks in Wokingham town centre including Shute End and Rose Street. These are currently free on Sundays. There will also be parking at Emmbrook School.
Organisers said: “Using these car parks will guarantee easy access to and from Cantley Park. Please do not use the Cantley Hotel entrance to gain access to the start.”
Tents for kits
ALL runners will be able to use changing facilities at Cantley Park and special kit tents will be erected near the start and finish.
Runners will be able to place their belongings in special plastic bags or use their own kit bags. All must have a label attached before being left the the kit tent.
Water en route
A NUMBER of water stations will be set up across the half marathon route, enabling runners to quench their thirst as they go along.
These stations will be at the three mile, five mile, seven-and-a-half mile and nine-and-a-half mile spots.
More water and a free hot drinks section will be available for all runners as they reach the finish line in Cantley Park.
There will also be plenty of toilets on site. Picture: Paul King
