Course Details
The course is flat and mainly on paths with the exception of one section that is stone/trail. The 5k is one lap, the 10k two and the half marathon is 4 laps with one additional 1.1k section.
Buggies are ok, the course is wheelchair friendly (just note the one section that is on trail)
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
Please note fundraising is completely optional and there's no requirement to do so however if you decide to support Shelter, there is no minimum fundraising target, just raise what you can.

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.
