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 Supported Runners Project can pair you with someone for Event Day. You can register your interest on their site. England Athletics also has great information about finding a support runner on their site. In exceptional circumstances, we can find someone for you, but please email us your request as soon as possible and at least three months before Event Day.
