Important Announcement

From 1 April 2016 a new rule regarding the wearing of head phones in road races was introduced into the 2016-2018 edition of the UKA Rules of Competition. Rule 204 s5 "The wearing of headphones, or similar devices, (other than those medically prescribed) is not permitted on roads not wholly closed to traffic." As the Alloa race is run on roads not wholly closed to traffic the above rule applies. Our governing body Scottish Athletics has informed Alloa Half Marathon that runners ignoring the rule will not be covered by race insurance and also by doing so absolve the race organisers of all liabilities.
