Event overview

The Pitsford Water Trail Races take place at Brixworth Country Park, Northampton Road, Brixworth NN6 9DG. The event offers two measured trail distances:

  • 10k
  • Half Marathon

Entries are priced at £25 for the 10k and £30 for the half marathon. Minimum ages on race day are 16 for the 10k and 17 for the half marathon. The race cut off time is four hours for both distances. Entries and transfer of entries close seven days before the event.

Route, support and practical information

Both routes leave Brixworth Country Park, cross the dam towards Pitsford and follow trails above Pitsford Water towards Holcot. The 10k returns downhill over the causeway and along the track beside Pitsford Water to the finish. The half marathon continues via Holcot to Hannington, Walgrave, Old and Scaldwell, then joins the track beside Pitsford Water for the final mile. There are several stiles between fields on the half marathon route.

On-course support includes professional first aid at the start and finish and access to runners on course. Water stations: three on the half marathon (miles 3, 6.5 and 9.5) and one on the 10k (mile 3); water is also available at the finish. Trail shoes or shoes with grip are advisable. Mandatory items include a fully charged mobile phone and a personal cup, as the races are cupless. Dogs are not permitted on the course. Merchandise can be pre-ordered before the event; there will be no sales on race day. Prizes will be awarded to the top three male and female finishers in each race and all finishers receive a race medal. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
