Spectator Guide
Don't forget, Preston Park is for participants only this year.
Thank you for playing an integral role in making Event Day an unforgettable experience!
Your cheers and encouragement fuel the participants' spirits and create an electric atmosphere!
To make your day as smooth as possible, please remember:
- Navigate the crowds: Some parts of the route can get extremely busy, so plan ahead to find the best spots to cheer on your loved ones.
- Meeting points: If you're meeting someone after they have finished, decide on a meeting point in advance. This ensures you can reunite without any hassle.
- Stay connected: Don't rely solely on your phone, as reception might be spotty in congested areas. Have a backup plan to stay in touch.
