🎽 BIB COLLECTION — GET IN EARLY!

Run for the Firies is getting close, and it's nearly time to get your bib sorted!

You can collect your bib on one of the following dates:

📍 Sunday 18 October, Research CFA
🕙 10am – 4pm

📍 Saturday 24 October, Research CFA
The day before the event — more details to come!

📍 Sunday 25 October — EVENT DAY
Bib collection will also be available on the morning.

Our tip? Collect your bib before event day if you can! 🙌

With everyone getting ready to run and walk, bib collection on the morning is likely to be busy. Picking yours up beforehand means one less thing to organise on the day, and helps everything run more smoothly for everyone.

Get your bib sorted, then you can focus on enjoying the event! 🏃‍♀️🚶
