If your period falls on Event Day, you can find tampons and pads at the Information Point and Drinks Stations.
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. Download the card from the Bladder and Bowel Community website. From that page, you can also purchase a plastic card. There are also bladder pads at the Information Point and Drinks Stations.
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.
