Sandridge 10k & Family Fun Run

The 10k is a TRAIL run – predominantly off road on paths and woodland terrain. Please be aware of trip hazards and uneven footing.

There will be physical route markings out on race day and marshals stationed along the course.

The 1k Obstacle fun run is primarily for children under 16 – adults are welcome to accompany, but this this is not required as the race will take place on the Sandridge Primary School grounds and runners will be visible at all times. All children entering the race must have a responsible adult present on site throughout the event.

The Sandridge 10k is a TRAIL route - uneven paths and multiple terrains. Not a PB course! Trail Run Association licence has been applied for.
Runners can expect to enjoy the stunning scenery and friendly atmosphere of the 10k. Runners who book through findarace.com will be welcomed back with a bespoke wooden medal. Chip timing (with quick and easily accessible results) provided by Active Training World.

Music: Yes! You are welcome to listen to your own music as you run but do bear in mind this is a ‘live’ route and a sociable event – so why not leave off the headphones and enjoy the company of those around you!

Water: There will be no water stations on the route, but water will be available at the start and finish. You can of course bring your own water with you to have during the run.

Chip timing: This is a chip timed event – be sure to wear your race bib with the chip attached, drop it in the recycling box at the finish, then log on and check out where you came on the leaderboard.

Medals: Runners in the 10k have the option at registration to choose one of our Sandridge 10k bespoke wooden medals OR to have a tree planted on your behalf – you will receive and emailed photo of said sapling and location (should you wish to visit it), once you have completed the race.

Race numbers: Race numbers with integrated chip timing will be available to collect from Race HQ on race day – don’t forget to bring safety pins!!

First aid: Qualified first aiders will be available around the course and at Race HQ for the duration of the event within our planned event times.

Please run safely, look after each other and have fun

Can I withdraw from the race?
Of course you can, however you will not be reimbursed your entrance fee.

Can I transfer my place to another runner?
Yes, up to 7 days before the race. Please refer back to your registration email for details of how to transfer your place.

Can I wear headphones? Yes, although do remember it is fun to engage with other runners and the marshals?

Can I bring my dog to run with me? No, sorry. The race starts on Sandridge School grounds, and that is a dog-free space.

Can I submit a postal entry?
Unfortunately, we are unable to process postal entries. All runners must enter online.

Can I enter on the day?
Entries will close at 9am on the 14th September, or when we reach capacity.

Where can I Park? There will be limited parking available on the field at Sandridge Primary school (Race HQ). Alternative parking is available in the village, on residential roads and Sandridge Village car park. Please do not use the carpark at Heartwood Forest.

Are there shower facilities? Sorry, no.

Can I walk the 10k? Yes, by all means walkers are permitted to enter. If you are walking, please stand aside for runners in narrower sections.

Are there any age restrictions?
10k entrants must be 16 years old or over on race day.

What does the entry fee include?
Alongside a great sense of achievement, the 10k runners can choose to receive one of our Sandridge 10k wooden medals or donate the value of their medal to planting a tree.

Planting a tree is one of the very best things you can do for the environment. They suck excess carbon dioxide (the main driver of climate change) out of the air, provide a home for a huge number of species and give us clean air to breath.

100% of the profit is going to Sandridge Primary School charity no 298754.

Will there be bag drop off facilities?
There will be a designated but non secure drop off spot – all items left at runners own risk.

What if the event is cancelled? If we are unable (for whatever reason) to run on race day as planned, the event will default to become entirely virtual and you will be asked to run where you are, submitting your ‘evidence’ via email and receiving your medal through the post (or email as planned about tree). Refunds will not be offered.
