The event is organised by the Rotary Club of Stratford upon
Avon, which is part of Rotary International, a worldwide
organisation of business and professional leaders. It is
the major fund raising event of our Club. Our
aim is to provide a well organised event and to raise money
for charities and local worthy causes. Members of the
Club and many others offer their help entirely on a
voluntary basis.
Entry Conditions
The race is held under UK Athletic Rules
(
www.ukathletics.net/ ) and you must agree to observe
these Rules, the event rules and obey the instructions of
marshals at all times.
Result times are provided using ChampionChip
timing. JAND Results provide this service to our Event which
means that we are able to offer fast and accurate results
with individual start times even when participants are at
the back of the pack. The cost of the chip is included in
the entry fee but entrants must return their chip to the
organisers at the Finish line. Bins and helpers will be
provided. Instructions on the use of your chip will be
sent with your Race Number and Runners Information. More
information on chips can be found on
www.jandresults.co.uk.
NB. If you loose or forget your chip no replacement will be
given. You should not take part on the day unless you wear
your chip as instructed, otherwise you will not get a time
or position in the Results list.
No
entries on the day. The entry Limit is stated under FAQ 'Is
there a Limit on Numbers and when should I enter'. You are
strongly advised to enter early. However, you should also note
that we do not give refunds. We also regret that we are
unable to transfer your entry to another year or to another
person.
The closing date for receipt of Entry Forms is clearly
stated on the Form. Race Numbers and chips will be issued
only to those who have entered and who are registered by
us. The Race Number must be worn on the front of the
vest as issued and must not be given or sold to anyone
else. Anyone found to have transferred his or her
number to another runner will be banned from our event for
life.

Marathon and at least 17 for the Half Marathon.
You should consult your doctor before deciding to take part
in the event and must be medically fit to take part on the
day.

after this will be withdrawn from the event. The organisers
will not accept responsibility for anyone remaining on the

Experienced runners are strongly advised to arrive early in
