Cautiously traverse the low chain on your left and head across the grassed area back to the finish at the Bluewater Hotel.
At the Finish
When you cross the finish line there will be a time recorder and place recorder. It is vital to the accurate collection of results that you keep to your finishing order until the place recorder has your race number (which will be on your hand).
It is also important that you do not cross the line more than once!
If you go back on to the course to run/walk in with another competitor, do not cross the line a second time as this obviously creates a false recording in the results.
