Our focus is to deliver a fun, safe and enjoyable event that fundraises thousands of pounds for various charities whilst causing the minimal amount of disruption in the local area. This is helped by the fact that the course is mainly on tracks and cycle-ways.
Roads affected on the Route
The first part of the race goes on roads around the Pride Park area and later on roads from the A6 Thulston Island through Thulston and Elvaston to the River Derwent track. The road closures are in place for the protection of the runners, volunteers and spectators and they will be kept to a minimum whilst ensuring safety for all. The road closures are as follows:

+ No waiting cones (supported by a police order) will be placed on roads through Thulston and Elvaston.
Our traffic management operatives, team leaders and marshals will be operating a vehicle gate at Fernhook Avenue and allowing traffic across the route when there are sufficient gaps between the runners but this is closely controlled for the maximum safety of the runners and marshals involved. This includes Elvaston Castle Country Park car park entrance which between 10:30am and 11:15am, it will not be possible to enter or exit this car park across the road closure due to the peak flow of runners.
A resident and business notice will be delivered to those effected on the course around 2-3 weeks before the event.
