Essentials
Practical details for participants, supporters and residents along the route.
Collect your bib, timing chip and race package Monday 22 to Friday 26 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.
Shuttle transportation will be available for 5K and 10K participants from Runaway Bay to their respective race starting locations before the race — 10K runners to the Antigua Recreation Ground and 5K runners to Cedar Grove. Shuttles run from 4:30 AM on race morning.
Park at Runaway Bay and take the shuttle to your start line. Free parking is also available at the Recreation Ground overflow lot and along Independence Avenue. Marshals direct traffic from 4:30 AM.
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 at the Antigua Recreation Ground by 5:30 AM and 5K runners at Cedar Grove by 5:45 AM. Start pens close five minutes before each gun.
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.
