Overview

You’ll be running through woodland, meadow and over grass fields. Depending on the weather leading up to the event, this could mean muddy, not so muddy or rock hard! There will be exposed tree roots, uneven surfaces and a few gates to navigate, but the running will always have a view. Given it’s the middle of the summer, expect a really good firm running route.

The route is effectively 2 laps of the woodland and meadow, and you visit the water station 4 times. The route is at the bottom of the page. It is undulating but not hilly at all. A truly great venue and route!

Good event; well organised and pleasant race team. We would do events with this organiser again! Neda I

This was the first time I've run Coombe 10K and I can definitely say this was just as popular as the other 10k events I've run with Big Bear. The crowd support was great and the marshalls were fantastic. Ryan S

4 steps to wellbeing
Sleep well

A good night's sleep is an essential foundation for a healthy lifestyle, effective training and weight control.

Train slow

Low-intensity training is easier for you, reduces the risk of injury and helps builds an efficient aerobic system.

Eat natural

Cut out sugar & junk food, reduce carbs, eat natural foods and train your body to burn fat for fuel.

Get outdoors

Fresh air, natural light and reconnecting with nature all help to improve mental and physical wellbeing.
