Organiser's Description
At the home of the National Road Relays, you will be running on the paths through the 2,400 acre National Nature Reserve once pounded by Sir Mo Farah, Andy Vernon and many more of our GB greats. Each kilometre will be accurately marked out and we have plenty of helpers to keep you quite literally on track and encourage you on your way to that chequered flag finish.
