Nice Work
Bushy Spring Half Marathon, 10k & 5k
Bushy Park, London, KT8 9BZ
This is how racing should be; a race day that fizzes with promise and delights at every turn.
Welcome to the Bushy Spring Half Marathon, 10k & 5k.
This is Nice Work race.
This means that it is an original Nice Work race, fully hosted and organised by us.
Event Overview:
The races take place within the iconic surroundings of Bushy Park which is the perfect setting for a fast, flat and traffic-free Sunday morning half marathon. If you prefer, why not take on the 10k or 5k option? You will pass around various sections of the park alongside the Hampton Wick Royal Cricket Club and the Oval Plantation whilst taking in the mixture of scenic woods and lakes. You may even be lucky enough to spot one of the many roaming herds of Red or Fallow Deer that have been known to watch the start of the race on a few occasions!
Course Overview:
The Bushy Half Marathon is a lapped course and four (and a bit) laps make up the Half Marathon distance. The 10k course is a two lap route and the 5k race is one lap. The route is mostly flat and covers a selection of hard track, tarmac, and a small section on grass.
The course has been measured using GPS but, because of its multi-terrain nature, it cannot carry a certificate of course accuracy. The course covers the tracks, trails and footpaths within the park and is suitable for runners of all abilities. Beginners and those new to racing are particularly welcome.
