7. The route for the Askern 10km is reasonably flat. There are however some quite narrow country roads, especially Burghwallis Road and Abbes Walk; you can help motorists and fellow runners alike if you kindly keep to the LEFT-HAND side. Please obey the instructions of the marshals at all times.

10. It is a UKA Rule that you wear your given race number on the front of your vest/top throughout the race. Please do not pass your number to another runner. Under UKA’s recently introduced rule the wearing of headphones will result in disqualification on safety grounds as you are considered a danger to yourself and other runners as the route is not traffic free.
11. It is likely we will send out prizes in the post with no presentation.
Askern District Running Club would like to wish you an enjoyable and successful race.
