Running GP at Goodwood Motor Circuit

Goodwood Motor Circuit, Chichester, West Sussex

Goodwood Motor Circuit, Chichester, West Sussex

Sun 19th April 2020

Starting at 10:00

Organiser's Description

Join us for a unique opportunity to run a Marathon, 20 Mile, Half Marathon, 10k or 5k at the World famous Goodwood Motor Circuit, and enjoy the thrill of running a new course, or racing your way to a new chip timed personal best, on this smooth traffic free tarmac motor racing circuit!

Located at the foot of the Sussex Downs, the track is the only classic circuit in the World to remain entirely in its original form. Goodwood Motor Circuit originally opened its gates to the public in September 1948, to host Britain’s very first post-war motor race meeting at a permanent venue.

Each mile will be accurately marked out and we have plenty of helpers to keep you quite literally on track and encourage you on your way to that chequered flag finish. This is a lapped course, with each lap being around 5k.

The event had convenient parking, not far from the start/finish, with helpful stewards. Race-pack collection was straightforward. Race organisation was very good, especially given the multiple simultaneous race distances. The track is wide and the surface is good. There is a little bit of undulation, but generally a good course for a fast time. It was quite windy on race day, so there were tough and easier sections, which I completed to get my PB!

What a great day out. Well organised and loads of fun. I enjoy the loops of the track (I know a few prefer point to point), and although I didn’t get my PB (got 3rd fastest), my wife got her PB in the half. I’m totally doing it again next year and a big shout out to the ladies at the Aerodome restaurant for being super sound and friendly to us.

Really well organised event, due to it being a racetrack it’s a flat and fast circuit and managed to get a PB! Would defiantly do again!

What a great day! Running the actual Goodwood race circuit is pretty cool, lovely even surface, reasonably flat and the small plans and helicopters flying in and out from the centre of the track is an added bonus. Plenty of friendly marshalls to cheer you on and the very fun and enthusiastic co-ordinator on the mic at the start of each lap really helped keep everyone going. Only criticism would be that there aren’t a lot of places to get anything to eat once inside the event; and having to keep track of your own laps, there’s no counters, only quite random mileage signs dotted around. It’s 11 laps for a marathon which sounds easy to count but when you’re totally exhausted it’s very easy to loose track - case in point, I ended up running 12! 🤦‍♀️

Absolutely loved it! Was our first 10k run. So well organised, everyone was lovely and really helpful! We will definitely be back again hopefully half marathon next time.

Brilliant course to run on. The Marshall's were all so friendly. My only criticism was the mile count down markers they didn't really make logical sense. As long as you knew how many laps to do which was clearly marked and the finish line it was fine.

Part 2 - I take it back about the pictures. They were so quick to upload pictures yesterday I thought that was it but there have been hundreds more added today. Brilliant event! I’ll try it again and hope for less breeze next time. Thank you

This was my first official event (aside from ParkRuns) and it was all very well organised, good signage, quick pack collection and kind faces when I had a stupid question. From a purely selfish POV the only very minor thing was considering the 10k group was apparently the biggest, there don’t seem to be as many pictures of it as the other coloured numbers but that’s only a thing because I was faster than I had anticipated and my family didn’t make it back in time to watch me cross the finish line (young children hiding from the weather in the car). It was very cold and windy but running a relatively flat track was a lovely change from my usual route at home! Nice group warm-ups were a good start to the run too. Thank you so much from this newbie!

Highly Recommended COVID Safe Event. Excellent fun, very well organised COVID safe event, which was inclusive for all abilities. On a minor note, results do not appear on Power of 10 (presumably due to the COVID restrictions of the race/staggered starts?). Regardless of this, after such a long period of not competing, it felt so good to race again! I would highly recommend this venue for a race!
