PARKING INFORMATION.

Please note that due to the popularity of the Vitruvian, Parking is now split into a number of distinct areas. Spectators are advisedto ensure they arrive early enough to ensure they can get through the registration process prior to racking their bikes etc.

Do not arrive just 10 mins before registration closes expecting to be able to get through the process and race. If you are notregistered in time we are afraid you will not be able to race as staff allocations mean that registration staff will be on course for thestart of the race and will not be able to process you. Include the time from when you are in the car park to getting to registration asthe later you are the more likely that you will be sent to the overflow car park which may take an addition 10mins to walk from.

PLEASE NOTE CAR PARK CWILL REMAIN CLOSED UNTIL ALL ATHLETES HAVE FINSHED THE RACE. DO NOT PARK HERE IF YOU NEED TO DEPARTPRIOR TO THE RACE FINISHING. – YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO EXIT THIS CAR PARK IN ANY CIRCUMSTANCES AS IT IS ONTHE COURSE

GET TO THE VENUE EARLY!!!!

Registration will close on time 0545 hrs.
