Event information
Fast, flat and traffic free! If the weather is good it really is a PB course. Take in the historic Kenley air field and watch the gluiders fly as you run.
This our 3rd 10km event and kids race and this year is set to be bigger and better. A race that finishes at a pub? what more could you ask for. We also have a beautiful Medal Scimitar Finishers T Shirts (10K only) and goodies for the children.
Parking is free and plentiful on local roads.
