• NB Transfers of V5000 entries can ONLY be made to another person who is in possession of a Warrant of Wildness.
• ‍NB Participants are not permitted to give their race bib to another person without going through the formal transfer process. The safety of all athletes is vital, the event organiser needs to ensure they have correct information for all runners on course.

4. A participant wishes to defer their entry to 2024
