Can I wear headphones?

No. Under England Athletics Rules you cannot wear headphones during the race, in the interest of athlete safety. 


We are instructed to disqualify any athlete that breaks this rule. 


The only exception to this rule are bone conducting headphones which do not go in or cover the ears.
