Warm up for each race will be open for entrants during the race preceding your race. You will have a 30 minute slot to warm up and there should be as many warm up machines as race machines. This means you will effectively be allocated your own warm up machine. Please respect these time restrictions so all competitors get an equal chance to warm up.
As well as the warm up machines, the aim is also to have a warm up/stretching area with massage therapists on site for any warm up/cool down needs. This may be more useful during the day for those entering both races.

Where?
Location: St Martin’s C of E Primary school in Cranbrook, Exeter
Facilities: Toilets, showers, changing rooms.
Transport links: A link to the venue is here, along with directions to the school. There is plenty of parking directly outside in the school car park. One thing to note is that Cranbrook is a newly built village and sat nav doesn’t pick up the exact location of the school as it still has it located as a field !! So please read the directions for the last few hundred metres. It is very simple.
Accommodation: Premier Inn, Holiday Inn Express and Gipsy Hill hotel are all extremely close to the M5 and the college. There are many other hotels and differring accommodation located around Exeter, all within 10 minutes travel time.
