Important Event Information
• This is a cup-less race and whilst water will be supplied at the water stations, no disposable cups of any kind will be provided at the Benfleet 15. Instead, runners will be required to bring their own receptacle to the race or purchase one of the reusable cups available to buy via pre-order or at the race (cash only). It is essential that runners keep their own receptacle / reusable cup with them throughout the event and do not discard their reusable cups after use.
