Final race day reminders! ✨ (scroll for TL;DR)
🚂 Check your start time and plan your journey to Hyde Park. A reminder there are engineering works on the Circle and District line.

🌥️ It might be a little chilly first thing, consider wearing an old top to keep warm and then discard prior to starting. Shelter will be collecting discarded clothing.

🎒 Pack your bag! Don't leave it until tomorrow morning, get your kit out ready and pack your bag tonight including your race number. We have a bag drop available in our Event Village from 07:30. Remember to attach your bag tag which was sent with your race number.

⌚ Put your smartwatch on charge, but whatever you do, don't forget to pick it up in the morning!

💦 There will be water on the course as well as refill points on route and in our Event Village. Bring a bottle to refill during or after your race.

🚻 We have plenty of toilets, you don't have to queue at the first one you see! Take a look at our Event
Village map for locations. There are also some toilets along the route, detailed on our route map.

📖 Read your event guide and our FAQs for answers to any last-minute questions.

🛏️ Try get a good night sleep!

See you tomorrow. by @royalparkshalf

A huge thank you to the 25% of our amazing participants who opted out of a finisher t-shirt this year and instead have contribute to enhancing the Serpentine Lake edge in Hyde Park, providing habitats for invertebrates, amphibians, fish and birds.

This conservation project is a collaboration with @TheRoyalParks team aimed at enriching biodiversity in the Royal Parks.

Planting begins next spring so stay tuned! 🧡 by @royalparkshalf

Helping make race day more accessible and welcoming for everyone.

We have a selection of bib stickers for runners to wear on their backs to support them during their race if required. These are available to collect from our information tent, including:

- Give me space
- Deaf runner
- Blind runner
- Visually Impaired runner

We have a limited number of Support/Guide runner vests also available on a first come, first served basis.

If you already have your own Support/Guide vest, or have your own awareness sticker, you’re very welcome to wear it, just ensure your race number can still be seen. by @royalparkshalf

3 days to go! Make sure you're drinking plenty of water every day now to be well hydrated on race day. If you've got any other pre-race tips (e.g. trim your toenails now!) Share away. by @royalparkshalf
