Royal Windsor River Trail Run

Windsor, Berkshire

Alexandra Gardens, Barry Avenue, Windsor, Berkshire, SL4 1QX

Sun 29th November 2020

Organiser's Description

This event promises to be a memorable experience with breath taking views and a friendly atmosphere. Why not make a weekend of it with family and friends and stay in Windsor and visit the local attractions.

We are able to put on this event in an iconic setting which takes runners past the historical sites of Windsor, Boveney Lock, Bray, Dorney, Maidenhead and Eton, finishing with Windsor Castle in front of you!

Mainly run along river trail paths, the course incorporates many of the key landmarks that have made Royal Berkshire and its surrounding area so famous. It is an absolute must for anyone looking for a break from the pavement grind and a change of scenery.

The event is not designed to be a gruelling cross country through deep mud and puddles, but aims to be a fun, friendly and fast trail run along one of England's most historic courses.

Our waved-start format creates a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, limiting any participant congestion along the route. As this is a trail run – it does not have a certified distance, but is still accurately measured the same as all of our other events.

There is a minimum participant age of 17 for this event. For participant health and safety, we also ask that there are no prams or dogs taken out on the course.

Parking

If you are traveling by car then please make sure you check all available public car parks & locations before planning your journey so you know where to go when you arrive in to Windsor. There are lots of car parks in the centre of town close to the venue where you will be able to park on the day.

Registration

All running event participants will be sent their bib number, which includes their timing chip, prior to the event. An enquiries desk will be set up at the front of the boat bay to allow for anyone who’s number has not arrived.

​ Bag Drop

There will be a limited bag drop at the event in order to minimise the amount of contact between staff and participants and to restrict all activities to the outdoor areas. We advise competitors to come ready to run.

Timings

Provisional schedule - each event will have a rolling wave start with participants starting individually at 15 second intervals. This allows for 4 people per minute to start; 60 people per 15 minute period. Longer distances will start earlier in the day with the shorter distances starting later. This will ensure that there is sufficient time between each participant starting to allow for social distancing. This should also ensure there is a steady number of people coming through the finish line, avoiding groups congregating.

Start periods will likely be allocated based on participant bib number e.g. numbers 1-60 starting at 15 second intervals between 08:00-08:15.

Please check your pre-race email for any changes to this schedule and notifications of your start times.
