All runners that ordered and paid for a t-shirt, but did not take part, you can still arrange to have your t-shirt collected or sent via courier (at your own cost).

Please note there are no extra shirts to purchase. This is only if you ordered one when you entered and you did not take part or collect your shirt.

There are so many people and companies that played a part in the success of our event. So many people came together and did their part.
