Event Info

Useful Information

  • These events are suitable for wheelchair users. Any participants wishing to compete with specialised equipment are asked to contact us before entering to ensure that we can accommodate any additional requirements.

  • As a UK Athletics licensed event, the pushing of any person in a device during competitive events is prohibited under the UKA Rules of Competition. This includes, but is not limited to, buggies, pushchairs, strollers (or similar), and wheelchairs.

    Spectators are permitted to use these devices at the event, however participants must not use them while taking part in races, except in the Family Mile, where such devices are permitted.

  • Participants and spectators must not be accompanied by a personally owned or controlled dog during the event. Entry may be permitted to those with medical assistance dogs, subject to them being correctly registered and identifiable as such, and subject to prior approval by the Event Director.

  • As a UK Athletics event, the use of in-ear and over-ear headphones are prohibited at this event. Bone-conduction headphones are the only exception, because they sit outside the ear.

    Please see the official UK Athletics website for more information.

  • Spectators are permitted at this event. In fact, the more the merrier! For safety reasons, spectators need to register to join the Run Fest Silverstone. If you are bringing a spectator or two, you can apply for your free spectator tickets here.

    If you have purchased your race entry through the Silverstone website, you can add spectator tickets using the “Extras” tab in your account.

  • Blue Badge holders will be directed to the car park closest to the main entrance, approximately a 15-minute walk to the Race Village.

    If you require parking closer to the Event Village, please email us in advance at run@runfestsilverstone.com so we can provide a specific vehicle pass for use on the day.

  • If you need parking within internal areas of the circuit:

    You must arrive and park by 08:30.

    Vehicles cannot move until the race route is clear - approximately three hours after the races start.

    You can only leave after this time if parked in these internal areas.

    If you park in the reserved area outside the circuit at the regular car parks, you are free to leave before the race routes are clear.

    The site is fully wheelchair accessible, with no steps between accessible parking, the Event Village, or along the race routes.

Suitable medical cover is provided at our events in the case of a medical emergency.

Toilets

Toilets will be opposite the bag drop and are available from 7:30am.

Bag Drop

Whilst we recommend bringing as little as possible, participants can leave essential belongings at the bag drop using the tear-off baggage strip on their bib.

Changing Rooms/Showers

There are no dedicated showers, but female and male changing rooms will be available in two dedicated pit garages.

No items should be left in these areas as they are not supervised. These garages will likely be very busy and with limited space, so we advise you to arrive ready to run if you can.
