People who are going to the start need to walk over the new road bridge to the left of the railway station to go to the start. There is also a small bridge at the railway station. Please take care crossing the very busy A96.

Please follow all instructions from race officials as they are there to ensure your safety. The roads on the race route are NOT closed for this event so be aware of other road traffic.
