Where is the location of the start-finish line at Flash Forum?
The start is opposite Gate 7 of the Yas Marina Circuit, just after entering Yas Island from the tunnel, via Al Raha Beach. Alternatively, if coming from Abu Dhabi or Dubai via Sheikh Zayed Road, then Saadiyat Link simply follow the signs for 'Yas Tourist Drive'. Flash Forum will be on your right after passing the hotels complex.
I have entered for the race but am now unable do it. Can I get my money back?
Once you have completed the online registration process a refund of your entry fee is not permitted.
Will there be somewhere at the event where I can leave my bag and valuables?
There will be a bag drop area but no responsibility is taken by the organisers for lost property.
Will the course be available for me to view before the race?
There are maps of the course available on the website, runners are encouraged to review and where possible familiarise themselves with the course by running or even driving the course.
Can I give my race bib to someone else?
No, you can not transfer or give away your bib. Each bib is our way of identifying individual participants and this is therefore important for the safety of all competitors.
I have my own timing chip, can i use it in the race?
Yes, you can use your yellow championship chip from Premier Timing.
Will there be support on the course if I can't finish?
Yes, there will be support on race day. Two ambulances, medics and marshals at various location along the track will be able to assist.
Is there a cut-off time?
Runners on the course after 3 hours will be asked to move to the pavement to complete the run.
Are there water/aid stations and how far apart are they?
There will be multiple water stations along the course from the 3km mark.
Will there be distance markers?
There are distance markers every 1km.
What happens if I miss the race start?
Competitors missing the race start may still run the track, but will not qualify for a race time.
Will there be food and drink available after the race?
There will be basic fruits and refreshments in the post race recovery area and a fundraising brunch will be held in the gardens of The Yas Hotel. Tickets for the brunch are now available for purchase.
Can I run the course before the race to practice?
We encourage you to come along and run the course.
Will there be toilets out on the course?
There are toilets in the start-finish compound and also at the 11km mark.
