Stowmarket Half Marathon & 10K
Stowmarket Striders organise two road races around Stowupland in Suffolk: a Half Marathon and a 10K. The races use a rural course on B class roads and quiet single track country lanes through undulating scenic countryside. Roads will not be closed apart from the start area; runners must keep to the left and obey race officials and marshals. Use of audio headphones while competing is prohibited and will lead to disqualification.
- Half Marathon : open to entrants aged 17 years and older.
- 10K : open to entrants aged 15 years and older.
The event is chip timed and held under UK Athletics rules. Course accuracy certificates are listed as 24/011 for the Half Marathon and 25/490 for the 10K. The course will close three hours after the start and medical support will be provided by first aid medics. There are regular water stations on the route. All finishers receive a memento. Prizes are awarded to the first three male and female finishers and to a range of veteran age categories for men and women.
Race headquarters, parking, registration, refreshments, bag drop and toilets are at Stowupland High School, Church Road, Stowupland, IP14 4BQ, approximately two miles northeast of Stowmarket. The organisers operate a non refundable entry policy but permit place transfers via the race entry system. A copy of the risk assessment is available on the race notice board.
