How do I get my ASICS London 10K race pack?
Race Pack Delivery:
You can purchase race pack delivery upon registration, so your race pack will be posted to you two weeks before the event. Your address must be up to date on your registration four weeks before the event for these to be sent to the correct place, as we will not be able to re-send them. If you need to update your address, please get in touch via hello@thelondon10k.com
Race Pack Collection:
If you did not pay for race pack postage when registering, you would need to collect your race pack from the collection point in the Festival Village or the London ASICS store before the event. Details about collection times will be shared shortly before the event.
What if my race pack doesn’t arrive in the post?
If your pack doesn’t make it to you in the post, you’ll need to collect a new race number from the collection point in the Festival Village or London ASICS store before the event. Details about collection times will be shared shortly before the event.
What is in my race Pack?
Your race pack will contain:
– A race bib with a unique runner number and the chip which records the runner’s time.
We are encouraging participants to try to keep and reuse items such as safety pins from event to event. As a result, we are no longer sending out safety pins in our Race Packs, reducing the environmental impact of our event and as part of our broader sustainability manifesto. Please do your best to bring some with you on event day!
For anyone unable to bring their own safety pins, we will have areas within the festival village to collect some.
Is there a prize for winning?
As always, we aim to create our events so they are fully inclusive and appeal to participants of all experiences and abilities. We are investing our resources into our overall event experience for our participants and engagement with the local community, from hosting engaging route entertainment and festival village activities to improve the event’s sustainability and carbon footprint. This is all whilst continuing to deliver seamless race operations as part of a safe and enjoyable day for all taking part.
Whilst we’re all about celebrating every single participant in the ASICS London 10K, we still want to acknowledge the speedy performance of our race winners. We will therefore be offering prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd places in female, male and racing wheelchair categories. Prizes will be vouchers and/or products from our partners.
