Naseby 1645
The Naseby 1645 is a 16.45 mile road race through rural Northamptonshire that passes seven Battle of Naseby 1645 memorials and viewpoints. Race headquarters, start and finish, are at Naseby Village Hall, Haselbech Road, Naseby NN6 6DE.
The course is run entirely on roads, with many sections closed to traffic during the event. The route has a total ascent of 289 m and is undulating. In line with UKA rules, headphones are not permitted except for bone conductor types.
On-course support includes water stations at around the 3, 6, 9 and 13.5 mile marks, plus an additional station at the finish. Race numbers contain timing chips and must be collected at registration on the morning of the race; numbers will not be posted. A bag drop area for small, labelled bags is provided within Naseby Village Hall.
Minimum age for entry is 18 years on race day. Entries and transfers close seven days before the event. Because road closures are in operation, organisers advise that runners should be confident of completing the distance within four hours, equivalent to an average pace of 14 minutes 35 seconds per mile.
There is no parking at Naseby Village Hall. A free shuttle bus service will run from Market Harborough, where free parking is available on Sundays, and a drop off and pick up point will operate in Naseby. Trophies will be awarded to the top three male and female finishers and all finishers receive a Naseby 1645 event medal. A proportion of entry fees will be donated to the Bruce Green Foundation, which supports young people in Northamptonshire facing social inequalities.
