Essentials
Practical details for participants, supporters and residents along the route.
Collect your bib, timing chip and race package Monday 8 to Friday 12 November 2027 — 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM Monday to Thursday and 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM on Friday. Bring valid photo ID and your registration confirmation email or QR code. Collection on behalf of another runner requires a written authorization letter, a copy of their photo ID and their registration confirmation or QR code. There is no collection on Saturday and none on race morning.
The expo runs alongside package collection from Monday to Friday with partner stands, running gear, nutrition, physiotherapy and a Run Antigua merchandise counter. Entry is free and open to the public.
Free parking is available at the Recreation Ground overflow lot and along Independence Avenue. Parking marshals direct traffic from 5:00 AM. Allow 20 extra minutes on race morning.
Fort Road, Independence Avenue and the St. John's waterfront close from 5:00 AM until the final finisher clears each section. Residents inside the closure can exit via marshalled crossing points.
A supervised bag drop opens 90 minutes before the first gun and closes 15 minutes before each start. Use the tag issued in your race package; valuables are not accepted.
10K runners should arrive by 5:30 AM and 5K runners by 5:45 AM. Start pens close five minutes before each gun.
A dedicated warm-up zone with led group stretching operates on the infield from 5:00 AM, plus physiotherapy tables for pre-race strapping.
In a life-threatening emergency dial 911. Otherwise alert the nearest marshal or call race control on +1 (268) 781-8591 and state your nearest kilometre marker.
