Race packs can be collected from the Regstration tent from approximately 8:00 until the start of the race at 10:00.

Parking: Parking is free but very limited as the church community and other playing field users (including football players and officials) will all use the car park to the left of the Pavilion (again, if facing from the playing fields). We would encourage our local visitors to walk or cycle, and for those coming from further afield please share lifts if you can and arrive in plenty of time to park appropriately as we want to maintain great relationships with our neighbours to ensure a warm welcome in future years… and people do get a bit upset if their driveways are blocked!
.
Facilities: Changing, shower, and toilet facilities will be available in the separate Changing Room Block to the right of the Pavilion (facing from the playing fields). Specific changing rooms for Leafy 10K users will be clearly marked. Football matches will also be taking place on the playing fields on Sunday morning and the teams will have their own separate dressing rooms. Please also be aware as runners (and ask any spectators who are joining you) that the football matches may be taking place at the same time as the Leafy 10k; it’s easy to get distracted but try to be aware of the pitches in use and not wander into the middle of a football match!
–
There will be a baggage tent on the main field, and your bags will be kept in the tent free of charge, however, we cannot accept any responsibility for loss or damage.
–
Water: Available at approximately 5km into the race, near the start / finish area, and at the end.
Queries: On the day, please speak to our volunteers, who should be easy to spot in hi-viz vests, or staffing the tents
–
Safety: At Bournville Harriers, we take the safety of our runners, supporters and volunteers very seriously. The race is run along park paths and trails, which can be muddy and compacted with leaves, and alongside roads, including a short section alongside the A38 Bristol Road. There are a few roads to cross which will be marshalled so you know where to go. We rely on the goodwill of other road-users, however, cars will have right of way and our marshals have no power to stop traffic, so please be careful and remember that your road safety is your personal responsibility. No PB or race position is worth risking your safety for! All runners are required to follow marshals’ directions at all times. Runners are also reminded to line up at the start appropriately to their usual speed and level of fitness. Headphones are not permitted during the race in accordance with UKA Rules of Competition. Bone conduction headphones however, are permitted.
–
With the safety of all runners, marshals and passers-by being our prime concern, the course is entirely unsuitable for running with pushchairs, buggies or with dogs.
Please print your emergency contact details and any important medical information we would need in case of emergency on the back of your race number.
