How to Get There

The postcode is MK15 0DT which is for the Eco Park and this is well signed. There is parking here and further parking across the road at Willen Lake (which is pay and display) and also about 50 spots up Livingstone Drive which is the next road along. Please try and park across at Willen Lake as space is limited on Livingstone Drive. Plan your journey to ensure you arrive with plenty of time to spare.

If coming off Junction 14 of the M1 follow signs for Central Milton Keynes on to the H6 Childs Way and then follow signs for Willen Lake and turn right along the V10. The turning for Eco Park is the first roundabout.

Course Details

The course is a mix of path and trail. Mainly flat and ok for buggy running.

Shelter

The housing crisis isn't about houses - it's about people. The lack of safe, secure and affordable homes is affecting people across the whole country. More than three million families could be one paycheck away from losing their home

Some stats:

Every day, 110 families in England become homeless
Every 13 minutes, another family in England becomes homeless

There will be marshals around the course to support and encourage you.

Please take care when running around the course as this is public land and local residents will be out and about. Please always stay on the left unless otherwise guided.

If wearing headphones please make sure you can hear other people around you and marshal instructions.

I attended the 5km run and it was a good course plenty of variation and nice scenery of willen lake. My garmin said I only did 4.95km but before we started the race one of the organisers informed us that GPS don’t measure the course correctly? Total elevation was 47 metres, the zig zags being the largest hill in the course. Would recommend.

The event was well organised but the start was jumbled as it said in the details that the 10k would go approx 5 mins after the 5k was started but everyone started together. I know some people missed some of the course out as there was no Marshall covering that area and due to them being towards the front of the second lap, it wasn’t so obvious as to where to go if near the front. My strava and Apple Watch only clocked 9.85km and several others in the strava group were also short of 10k. It was a lovely course and gave an 85m elevation - mostly from the zig zags (if you know, you know!!) but was fairly flat other than that.
