Event Information:
Please consider your suitability for this run. It is a 10 mile run on rough undulating woodland and riverbank trails and in the winter it is run in the dark. This run is only suitable for experienced 'and fit' trail runners. You should have completed a club 10k before registering for the 10-mile run or alternatively, you can send either Jason or Joe a Strava link showing your most recent 10-mile run. For safety reasons, we have to keep the group together so have had to put the above caveat in place for longer runs.
We will meet at the Snuff Mills carpark however due to the car park now closing at 19.15, you will need to park on the street just outside on Broom Hill or River View. If you struggle to find somewhere to park, meet Jason (run leader) in the car park and he will direct you. From here we will follow the Valley Walk up to Huckford Quarry in Winterbourne and return from there via Bury Hill & Lincolme Barn.
