Scenic 7 - Stowmarket Striders
The Scenic 7 is a club road race organised by Stowmarket Striders at Mid Suffolk Leisure Centre. The distance is 7 mile on a relatively flat course with a couple of undulations. The route leaves the leisure centre, runs through Onehouse and Harleston, makes a three mile loop near Harleston, and returns along the same roads to the finish.
The event is open to competitors aged 16 or over on race day. There is one water stop on the course and a memento for all finishers. Prize categories include first, second and third overall for men and women, first place awards in specified veteran age groups for both sexes, and team prizes for men and ladies with three to score. Course accuracy is certified (SEAA 23/219) and a UK Athletics road race licence number is listed as TBC.
Race headquarters are at Mid Suffolk Leisure Centre. A warm up area is provided on the Stowmarket High School playing fields and runners are asked to assemble in the high school car park before being led to the start to reduce traffic disruption. Changing, toilets and showers are available at the venue; the leisure centre also offers a bar, cafe and a pool for which an additional fee may apply.
Use of audio equipment with earphones is not permitted. The organisers support the Poppy Appeal and observe a two minute silence in the leisure centre to remember those who have given their lives. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
