Q. Can I run in fancy dress?
A. Yes. We encourage fancy dress runners to make the day fun for all of the family, however we do suggest that you practise in your costume and take extra care. Remember you are running along pavements of main High Roads, so costumes should be safe as well as fun! Also take into consideration the distance you will be running...a Half Marathon is no walk in the park!
