What we do

Our dedicated team supports people with a range of disabilities

Handbikes, trikes, skates, inline skates such as Rollerblade, skateboards, scooters or any geared or motorised device may not be used.

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.
