Billericay Striders 10k Road Race

06 Jul 2025

 

Organiser's Description

Event Date: 6th July 2025
Start Time: 9.45am
Closing Date: 12th June 2025
 
 
Course: The race is popular with elite athletes and fun runners alike. The course is undulating rather than hilly and fast times are possible. The main incline is up to Queens Park near the start, but once this is over there is a pleasant downhill stretch and then undulating countryside until a gradual ascent to the finish.
 
Be quick: Please enter early as we have always sold out quickly and this year, being our first summer race, may be even more popular than normal.
 
Entry: Entries will only be accepted from registered EntryCentral users. This means you will need to log in to your account or register with EntryCentral to create an account if you don't have one already. The process is quick and it allows you to make changes to your entry, including transfering to friends or family if you are not able to run (see below). 
 
Swaps/transfers/waitlist: Swapping entries between friends and family will be possible to do directly from your EntryCentral account, using the "Change Person" functionality. This worked well last year and should significantly reduce the administration around swaps/transfers, which has been a source of frustration for some. Please note, there are some user options you can specify on sign-up (e.g. donate to charity and how you would like your entry fee to be handled in case of cancellation, so it is up to you to check these options with the person taking your place.
 
For transfers to other runners (i.e. not friends or family), we will be operating a waitlist for a 2-week period from 29th May. The organisers will not make swaps or refund entries manually outside this window.
 
Headphones: Strictly no headphones (except hearing aids) – we are serious about your safety and will disqualify any runner ignoring this warning. Similarly, no running with buggies or dogs please.
 
Entry fee: £20 if you are affiliated to England Athletics; if not £22 for unaffiliated runners.
 
Admin charge:  Entry Central will charge an additional 4% to cover the cost of administration.
 
Refunds/Deferals: No refunds (other than for waitlist transfers) or deferals will be made unless the organisers cancel the event.

Cancellation: If the race has to be cancelled by the organisers, you will be offered three options:

  1. Defer entry to 2026 (this may be July or Novermber depending on the success of this year's race)
  2. Donate entry fee to charities supported by Billericay Striders
  3. Receive refund of entry fee (less administration charge). Note all refunds will go back to the original account holder, so if you obtain your entry via the swap/transfer process (see above), it will be up to you to recover your entry fee from the account holder.
Age Restrictions: All competitors must be at least 15 years old on the day of the race.
