All GAC athletes must enter in advance of the event registration evening and their relay teams must be declared before Saturday (9 April) night.

​

Facilities
Public toilets are available close to or within warm-up distance of the start and finish of each race, but no other shelter or facilities are available.

​

Junior festival
A junior festival (under 15) runs in parallel with the adult race. For details and entry form please email club@guernseyathletics.org.gg

Rules
Guernsey Athletics Club's standard rules page, including further links to the UKA rules can be found here. Participants should particularly note the following:

• The correct number should be pinned securely to the FRONT of your vest or running top. In accordance with UKA rules, numbers may not be folded, cut or otherwise defaced.

• These races are not held on closed roads. Therefore, runners MUST obey the instructions of the marshals or other officials. Runners should be aware of traffic and any other hazards.

• Personal music players of any kind MUST NOT be worn in any of the EY Easter Running Festival races, for your own safety and that of other runners and road users. Violation of this rule will carry the penalty of disqualification and exclusion from the race results. The race briefing and other announcements will re-iterate this. If you are wearing headphones at the time of the race briefing, you will have the opportunity to rid yourself of them then.

• Please show courtesy to the officials and pay attention to the race briefing and other announcements made, it is for your own safety and that of other runners.

• Please abide by the rules.
