Event information
Ludlow and the surrounding Shropshire countrside is well known for it’s narrow and hilly roads, as well as some stunning off road scenery, and we have made sure to include a number of these key landmarks.
All routes offer sections of quiet lanes, public footpaths and off road sections, including the Whitcliffe Common area. Here you can expect undulating ground combined with some interesting climbs and descents, in particular the challenging ascent of the Lactic Ladder, and descent of the Donkey Steps.
The half marathon course is relatively flat, but does have some small climbs, total elevation gain of 190m (9m/km). The new 10km route is also relatively flat, but slightly more hilly than the half marathon, with 130m total elevation gain (13m/km). With a total elevation gain of 140m (28m/km) the 5km course offers a great challenge for novices and experienced runners alike, just don’t expect to set a 5km PB. This is a good distance for athletes, ParkRunners and ‘couch to 5k’ runners.
The route for the last section over Whitcliffe Common will be the same for all distances.

Due to only some of the course being on closed roads, there is parking available at Race HQ, Ludlow Rugby Club, Linney, SY8 1EE. We ask that all athletes arrive for all race distances from the westerly direction, using Dinham Bridge and The Linney, thereby avoiding the Corve Street approach (this will be closed form 0730).
Access from Dinham Bridge will be closed at 0845, so all 10k and 5k athletes will need to arrive in good time. There are also three additional car parks in the centre of Ludlow at Upper Galdeford (town library), Lower Galdeford (Smithfield), and Castle Street. They operate on a pay-and-display basis.
