Course Details

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.

How to Get There

Getting Here
The event is based in Ludlow, Shropshire, with the race HQ located on the grounds of Ludlow Rugby Club, The Linney, Ludlow, Shropshire, SY8 1EE. Registration, parking and finish will all be located here.



By Road:
Ludlow is situated on the A49 trunk road which runs from Warrington, through Shrewsbury and Hereford to Ross-on-Wye. From Birmingham, head west on the A456 through Kidderminster. From the M5 leave at junction 3 and continue on the A456 through Kidderminster.

By Rail:
For times and fares, contact National Rail Enquiries on 08457 48 49 50 (24hrs) or visit the Transport for Wales website or to plan your journey to Ludlow from anywhere in the UK visit the Journey Planner section on www.nationalrail.co.uk

Parking

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.

Location

Race HQ, start and finish: Ludlow rugby club, Linney, Shropshire, SY8 1EE.

  • Spectators

    Yes, spectators are integral to the atmosphere of the races and Ludlow has plenty of bars and eateries as well as the Green Festival for hungry post-race athletes and spectators alike.

  • Prize Categories

    There will be prizes for age group winners. Full details of prizes will be announced closer to race day.

  • Are there ‘cut-off’ times for the race?

    No. We will not be imposing a cut off for the race. However if the race organisers feel that you are not in a fit and healthy condition to finish the race then they will inform you and their decision will be final.

  • What should I wear?

    The routes are split, almost equally between sections of road and off road. Therefore we would suggest that a standard running shoe would be suitable, however if weather conditions are very wet then the forest section can become slippery, in which case a medium grip trail shoe might be more appropriate. We recommend monitoring the weather conditions in the lead up to the race.
