Here at DB Max we are trying to reduce the amount of waste we create, reduce our carbon footprint and to make our events affordable for all. For the Lightning Bolt Fast 10k, we have taken the decision to make the medals optional.
So we are offering runners the option to purchase a medal when registering, but alternatively to enter at a lower price, without a medal. This ensures we can give the cheapest entry price possible, but also covers all options and keep those runners who love a medal happy too.
We hope you appreciate this new optional service as we address environmental and waste concerns.
The #dbmaxpaceteam will be on hand to help guide you to your goals and PB's. We have pacers from 38 to 75 minutes. Pacers are at 38/40/42/45/48/50/52/55/58/60/62/65/70 minutes.
We expect participants to have finished their 10k in no more than 1 hour 10 minutes. After this time limit marshals will be removed form course and you will be expected to make your own way back to the finish. Signs will remain out until the final finisher.
