iPods/MP3 PLAYERS ETC. AND YOUR SAFETY We take your safety very seriously. The officials and marshals around the course are there to help and guide you, and you need to be able to hear and respond to them and other members of public around you, at all times. Regular Headphones aren't permitted at any of the series events, except the Vic Musgrove, as this race is on paths closed to traffic. We would encourage all runners to leave their headphones at home, as it is at the clubs discretion, to remove any runner from the results if found to be disregarding the rule. If headphones have to be worn, they must be bone conducting headphones.

The results will be available (usually on the evening of the race) on the Telford AC website : Sexarathon page and also on the Sexarathon Facebook page.

They will also be available live at StuWeb
