Lacock is slightly off the beaten track, situated in English countryside less than 30 minutes drive from Bath and 50 minutes from Stonehenge, off the A350, which bypasses the village.

Chippenham Railway Station, about 4 miles away, has fast links to London Paddington. Trains are one or two an hour taking about 75 minutes. In the opposite direction the trains go on to Bath about 15 minutes away. There is a taxi rank at Chippenham station.

There are also local buses operating between Chippenham and Bath.

There is a race specific event car park which costs £2 per car. Runners should not park in the National Trust visitor car park, which is reserved for Abbey visitors.

This event is suitable for buggy runners but please note there are a couple of narrow sections, including a raised footpath without a fence.

The 1km family fun run will be a lap course through Lacock Village. The minimum age to run unaccompanied is 8 years old. Children younger are welcome to run if they are accompanied by an adult who is over the age of 18. There is no charge for adults accompanying children, unless they wish to collect a medal, in which case we ask they register as usual.

This a 1 lap course for the 5k, 2 laps for the 10k and 3 laps for the Half Marathon, which will have a larger looped section at Reybridge to ensure an accurate distance.
