When selecting our accommodation options we are always conscious of the nutritional needs of our
athletes & make every effort to make sure a varied, athlete friendly and focused menu is available.

part of your preparation, and therefore arrange and ensure an early start, athlete focused breakfast,
is available for our athletes and supporters. Daily breakfast can be added to your booking at an
additional charge so please just ask our customer support team to provide further info and costs..
