Vehicle owners will be asked to make a small donation to help cover costs. No parking will be available in the two pubs close to the start or on the Old Reading Road (as this will obstruct the start/finish area). Please respect residents of Crowmarsh and DO NOT block local residents’ driveways. The car park will be closed and locked at 3.30pm. Please allow plenty of time to pick up your race number and remember the school fete will be on to entertain your supporters!
The course: The route is mainly flat, taking runners from Crowmarsh, over the river onto the banks of Wallingford and through the town to the bridge. There’s plenty of fun to be had for both hardened athletes and first-time runners.
Due to the nature of the terrain the course is not suitable for buggies and wheelchairs.
No roads will be closed, so please take care when crossing roads.
Please do not run in the road – for your own and others’ safety. For this reasons, no earphones or headphones of any kind are allowed.
The course is a 5k loop, with 10k runners completing two circuits.
