However\, if you know you would like to swap to the longer distance before the race begins\, then please speak to the Race Director who will advise if the race has capacity to support this. If this is possible\, there will be a difference to pay. \nRunning with a buggy: yes\, it will be possible to run with a buggy\, just please always be aware or other runners. \nCan I walk the event?
