Medals & pins
As long as you complete 3km, you will be an official finisher and you will receive one of the incredible themed medals.
There are also distance pins available for anyone who runs a half-marathon distance or more. Pins available to collect are the Half-Marathon, Mega-Half, Marathon, 50km and Ultra pins. You will receive one pin on the ribbon of your medal to reflect your achievement.
Goody bag
You earned the calories after all, so all finishers get a goody bag. As well as the standard goody bag, with a selection of various goodies to choose from, there is also a fabulous vegan goody bag for the vegan runners.
Aid table
There is a fantastic aid table and drinks table at the start / finish of each lap. There is an incredible selection of drinks and savoury or sweet snacks such as crisps, cheese, fruit and cookies with vegan options also available and of course we couldn't have a Will Run for Ice Cream event without there being an array of ice cream to choose from for all finishers!
