Race Buddy Scheme

The Race Buddy Scheme was created after feedback from athletes who told us they can feel apprehensive about attending an event for the first time or taking part on their own. Uncertainty around what to do, where to go, and what to expect can sometimes be a barrier to getting involved in sporting events.
Our goal is to reduce athlete anxiety in the lead-up to race weekend and on race day itself. We aim to help athletes feel informed, confident, and supported by clearly explaining how the event will run and by providing opportunities to ask questions and connect with a real person.
The scheme will be delivered in two parts:
Online Seminar
Our host will guide you through key event information, including race-day timings, race pack collection, park & ride arrangements, and tips for managing pre-race nerves. There will also be a live Q&A session, giving participants the opportunity to ask any questions they may have about the event.
Date: 25 February
Time: 18:00
Location: Zoom
Event Site Walkthrough
We will be hosting a guided walkthrough of the event site, highlighting key facilities and locations, including official meeting points, start gate access, and other important areas to help you feel confident on race day.
Date: 7 March
Time: 11:30
Location: Event Stage
*We’re proud to say that these aren’t all of the initiatives that we’ve put in place for this years event. You can read in further detail here.*
