Event summary

Get ready for an exhilarating day of running at the Reading 1020, organized by Racing Line Running, on Sunday, March 16th, 2025! Set in the picturesque Mapledurham Estate in Reading, Berkshire, this event is a fantastic opportunity to log some vital training miles in preparation for your Spring Half Marathon or Marathon.

Participants can choose between two exciting race distances: a challenging 10 Mile course or a more demanding 20 Mile option. Both routes showcase the stunning natural beauty of the estate, featuring a delightful mix of trails and roads, with scenic views near the famous Thames watermill. Whether you’re tackling one lap for the 10 Mile or two for the 20 Mile, be prepared for a thrilling adventure that could range from fast and firm trails to a true test of trail running skills if the weather turns muddy. Don’t forget to lace up those off-road shoes and join us for a day filled with camaraderie and the joy of running in nature!

Reading 1020

Sun 16th March 2025

A picturesque scene of a historic water mill beside a gently flowing river. The mill is a brick building with a red-tiled roof, surrounded by lush greenery, trees, and a manicured lawn. A partly cloudy sky adds depth to the scenic countryside view. Aerial view of lush green landscape with a winding river flowing through farmland and woodlands. Several buildings and a large house with a garden are situated near the river. The terrain is a mix of fields, trees, and open countryside under a partly cloudy sky. A riverside scene features a historic, brick watermill building surrounded by lush trees under a clear blue sky. The words "READING 1020" are prominently displayed in red over the image. The calm river reflects the charming structure and greenery.

Organiser's Description

The perfect event if you're looking to get in those training miles for a Spring Half Marathon or Marathon. Our 10 Mile & 20 Mile event takes place in the beautiful surroundings of the Mapledurham Estate, a few miles from the edge of Reading.

We have a lovely multi terrain 10 mile course for you, starting and finishing by the Thames near the famous watermill and legendary sites from The Eagle Has Landed. One lap or two laps for the 10 Mile & 20 Mile of course.

The course uses trails & roads within the Estate, local woodlands and footpaths. The trails could be firm and fast if we have dry weather in the build up or, quite likely, they could be a true trail running test & muddy if we get wet weather. As with all trail running, expect a bit of everything - we recommend using off-road shoes.

What a lovely course. Scenic with some good elevation and a mix of trail and 'road'. The person at the finish line was very enthusiastic and cheered me over the finish line. Will definitely run this one again!

The 20 miles race was good, but be prepared to get really muddy on wet days!!! Enjoy

Very well-organised race. Lots of friendly marshals and clear signposting throughout the course. The route was very pretty, mostly on muddy trails and very quiet country roads. I’ve docked half a star because the race came in a bit short of 20 miles according to my Garmin (and other people’s too!). I would definitely recommend this race.

The course is great and very well organised and marshalled. Off course facilities could have been better e.g one male toilet cubicle which was broken
