Event information
The route takes you around many of the pools of Kingsbury Water Park. The conditions underfoot are mixed with sections on grass, gravel tracks and a few very short sections on asphalt. the views are great and you’re guaranteed to see a plethora of wildfowl.
Ground conditions will depend very much on the weather at the time of the event. Kingsbury Water Park floods very easily and if there has been heavy rain the ground will be sodden. As always we’ll update runners closer to the event as to the exact conditions.
