Course Details
All runners begin with the River Great Ouse on their left hand side and run along the footpath, following the arrows. You’ll run around Regatta Meadow and then go under the underpass by the car park and carry on into Riverside Park. The route is fully signposted, but basically just keep going straight unless an arrow tells you otherwise.
After about 1.55km or 0.96 miles you exit the park. Run up the road for 20 meters and go through a kissing gate on your left hand side. This takes you into a field where you run diagonally through it, following the cut grass path. You’ll go round the pond and through a second kissing gate. You’ll then go through a small wooded area, before coming out and finding the turning point.
At 2.65km, or 1.64 miles you will reach the turning point, which is just before a large bridge to your left. The turn point is well signed with a large yellow sign on the left of the path telling you to ‘turn around’ – please go all the way to the turn point before turning back on each lap.
You then simply turn at the turn point and retrace your steps, exactly. Again, full signposted for your return. Get back to the aid station and that’s it, that is 1 complete lap.
The overall course has no elevation gain or drop making this a flat and fast route. Well, except for the 2 kissing gates either end of the field. Please take care going through the gates.
