The start & finish
The 10k and 2 Mile start and finish in the same location and this is close to the Race HQ.

About the course
The 10k course is three laps of the Regent's Park race route (whilst the Fun Run is only one lap) and will be on tarmac paths. The course is slightly undulating throughout with one gentle incline on each lap. The 10k has been accurately measured and carries a certificate of course accuracy.

Please race with care, keeping an eye out for uneven and slippery surface, low hanging tree branches and protruding tree roots.

Other route users
Please be aware that you are sharing the paths with other walkers, runners and cyclists, many of whom live locally. We ask that you race with care and remain courteous at all times.

 

Recommended Kit & Footwear
Your favourite running shoes should be fine for this race. Please keep an eye on the forecast and dress appropriately for the conditions, bringing a spare set of clothes (and socks!) if needed.

Litter
Please do NOT drop litter. Bins will be provided, so please dispose of any litter correctly or take it home with you.

Water Stations
As well as a water station at the end of the race, there will be an additional water station for the 10k runners.
Whilst we will ensure that our water stations are well supplied, runners should ensure that they are fully hydrated and also consider carrying their own water.

Going Green
To help reduce the carbon footprint of this race, we would like to encourage all our runners to bring their own camel packs or reusable cups for this race. Our teams at the water stations will be happy to fill any receptacle that you might bring with you so that you stay hydrated and racing fit! If you are able to car share, then this would be wonderful!

Your route & marshals...
Your course will be clearly marked using large route arrows and directional cones, as well as being marshalled throughout. Please listen and obey all marshal instructions given. There will be a sweep marshal which will follow the last runner to make sure that no one is left on the route. All marshals will remain in place until stood down by the sweep marshal.

Spectators
We always welcome anyone that would like to cheer on our runners and join the good spirit of the race by lending their encouragement and support.

 

We are proud to invite our junior racers to the start line for their very own dedicated event so that they can experience the thrill of race day for themselves.

The approximately 0.8k race will take place at 10:00, before the main race.

While this race will not be chip timed, all runners will receive a finishers medal. Race numbers are only available for collection on the day. 

Parents are responsible for collecting their children at the finish line. And, if parents are accompanying younger racers then no additional entry is required. However, participating parents will not receive a chip time or medal.

We hope that you will join us in supporting our young runners with uproarious cheers as they cross the finish line!

 

Medals & Prizes
There will be a bespoke medal awarded to all finishers of the 10k & 2 Mile.
