Overview

If the weather has been wet in the run-up to race day, expect plenty of mud – and plenty of fun!

This event loves celebrating junior runners, giving every child a warm welcome to the start line. This year’s junior race is a simple 1K out-and-back from Race HQ, with a friendly marshal at the turnaround point to guide them back to the finish. The race will take place shortly after the marathon sets off.

Although the junior run isn’t chip timed, all participants will receive a finishers’ medal. Parents must collect their children at the finish line. Adults may accompany younger runners without needing an additional entry, but they won’t receive a chip time or medal.

Junior race numbers will be available for collection on the day only.

Come along and cheer the young runners home with big, supportive energy!

This is a 10K lap through Wendover Woods which was well sign posted and easy to navigate. X1 for the 10k X2 for the 1/2 Marathon X4 for the marathon. It’s in nature and trail running with a couple of steep hills to climb. There’s not many spectators but its beautiful scenery. Cafe and toilets are tip top... the entry fees were reasonable.

Another fantastic race. Great atmosphere and brilliant support from onlookers, staff and volunteers but big thanks to volunteer Simona who ran most of the 10km route near the back of the 10km group where I was encouraging and supporting us all the way whilst collecting litter on route! Fantastic support. Sue K

A really enjoyable, friendly course. Well signed posted. Great marshalls. Fantastic medal. The only gripe I have is the results are not complete. My time is not shown on the results page. I was not last. So I imagine others are missing too!! Other than that it’s a race I would look to return to. Liz R
