You can use the following wheeled equipment or device in the mass participation event:
- Standard day chairs/wheelchairs with a maximum width of 95cm and length of 2.20m – a front wheel attachment may be also used.
- Race Runners – but please email us first if you wish to use one of these.
- Crutches, frames or walkers that are not motorised or geared.
On Event Day, you will have access to the following support
Just Can't Wait Toilet Card
If you have a bladder or bowel condition, a Just Can’t Wait Toilet Card explains you have a medical condition and need urgent access to a toilet. The card issued by the Bladder and Bowel Community can be downloaded here for free. From that page, you can also purchase a plastic card. There are also bladder pads at the info points and drink stations.
Mobiloos
We use RevoLOOtion Mobiloos at our events. The toilet and changing facility is manned and available for disabled participants.
If your period falls on Event Day, you can find tampons and pads at the info points and drink stations.
Quiet Space
We have a quiet space, for anyone who wants to take a moment away from the crowds, and a prayer space that is open to all.

Interested in a Support Runner?
If you are visually impaired, or your disability or medical condition means you need a support runner, you can apply for a free place for them. Please email us outlining your request and the reasons for it.
If you would like a Support Runner, the Richard Whitehead Foundation Supported Runners Project in partnership with Nissan can pair you with someone for Event Day. Register your interest with the Richard Whitehead Foundation to find out more.
