This is our 5th 10k and Fun Run event.  With the kind permission of Mr & Mrs Puxley we are once again using part of their private and beautiful Welford Estate.  The 2.5k and 10k start and finish at the same point, and are ideal for runners and spectators alike.  We have a big grass bank overlooking the race start/finish point, which we use as a viewing platform, helping us cheer the runners on.  We have a road closure so the route is vehicle free (except for emergency vehicles) and marshalled appropriately.  Run under UK Athletics rules.  Registration is based in one of the barns near the start. There are toilets, unsecured bag drop area and tasty hot & cold food and drinks.  Free nearby parking.  Thanks go to our main sponsors Moss Vehicle Maintenance who help cover our set up costs for the event and who will also be running in the 10k. 

 

The day starts with the childrens 500m run for Reception to Yr 4 children.

Then the 2.5k open to 9 year olds to 99!
