There is a Costa Coffee at Aldersley leisure centre, where you can wait in the warm drink coffee and by your supporters some well-deserved cake! You are welcome to use the changing rooms with showers and toilets. There are other events on at the stadium too so we will be sharing the facilities with Hockey and Football teams.
Lockers are available – bring a 20p coin.
If you are cycling to the Winter Warmer there are plenty of bike racks but please, try to bring a D Lock.
Bus from Wolverhampton town centre: Number 6.
We would politely ask you to car share where possible to cut down on traffic and parking.
The race is run on footpaths and roads [no road closures] so please make sure you look out for traffic and pedestrians along the way and please do not use headphones. However, bone conduction headphones are permitted. Our marshals will do their very best to keep your race safe – they may need to give you instructions and guidance, which is why we are following UKA guidelines with headphones.
