Race details
There are two route options:
- 10 km
- 13.1 miles (half marathon)
Both routes are mainly on grass, tracks and paths in the countryside around Woodham Ferrers and nearby villages. Routes are unmarked and run as narrative routes - participants receive written instructions and some tape will mark trickier places. There are no marshals. The event is not chip timed; organisers will provide timing but it is not electronic chip timing.
Logistics and entries
Parking is close to the start and finish and there will be toilets and handwashing facilities. There is no bag drop. Aid stations are provided, but the event is cupless - participants must carry their own cup or drink bottle as no cups will be available at aid stations. Dogs are not permitted. Refreshments will be available at the finish, including hot and cold drinks and homemade cakes; cash donations for refreshments are welcome. Entry fees are £14 for the 10k and £20 for the half; a medal can be added for £3.20. An event booking fee of 50p or 4% (whichever is greater) applies.
