Jigsaw Run’s Covid-19 measures do not work without the cooperation of our runners. Please read and follow these instructions to help keep yourself and others safe at the event.

Before the run

You must not attend Jigsaw Run if you have been contacted by Track and Trace, are experiencing any of the main Covid-19 symptoms (a fever, or a new continuous cough, or a loss of, or change in, normal sense of taste or smell) or are awaiting the results of a test.

This is not a spectator event. If you require somebody who isn’t running to accompany you to the event for support or assistance reasons (e.g. transportation) you must contact us via fundraising@jigsawtrust.co.uk before the event to register their details.

Please inform us if you wish to transfer your place.

On the day

Please arrive at the indicated arrival time for your race and leave the finish area and event promptly once you have finished your race.

If you have taken someone else’s place and haven’t already informed us, you must visit Race HQ before the race to register.

Please maintain social distancing throughout the event. Remain at least 2 metres from others when starting and finishing the race and when overtaking other runners on the course.

Participants should wear face coverings before and after the race.

Please note there is no managed baggage drop. There will be an area where you may leave bags and items. You are encouraged not to bring valuables to the event and to leave your belongings in your car. Jigsaw takes no responsibility for the security of your belongings and will not be held liable for any loss, theft, or damage.

Do not spit or blow your nose except into a tissue.

We recommend bringing your own water and nutrition.

Please maintain social distancing when celebrating, i.e. no high fiving or hugging.

Runners must follow the UK Athletics Covid-19 Participant Code of Conduct, available to view/download here.
