Course
The Harrow Hill 10k is a chip-timed road race on a route around Harrow-on-the-Hill. The course includes two ascents of Football Lane. The first part of the route goes up Football Lane, then continues on pavements through the historic centre of the hill before descending via Sudbury Hill and Sudbury Court Drive. A flat section runs alongside Northwick Park before the second climb through school grounds and up Football Lane again. After the second descent, runners enter the school grounds via a footpath next to Ducker Fields and finish on the Harrow School running track.
