Cut off time:
We have a strict cut-off time of 2 hours 45 minutes for the Half Marathon. This is due to needing to re-open the Town Centre Roads and is stipulated by Shropshire Council. Thus, the Metric Half has a cut off time of 2 hours 20 minutes. You must be able to complete the event in these times.
