Organiser's Description

North London running club Mornington Chasers are delighted to bring you a rare, one of a kind event this October 17th - a 10 mile, socially distanced, accurately chip timed, UK Athletics licensed and measured race.

Mornington Chasers have been unable to host their much loved Regent's Park 10K this winter, whilst 2020 should have been an Olympic year. So instead, they are offering you the opportunity to race 10 miles through the Lee Valley Olympic VeloPark - the perfect venue to test your mettle and inspire your running.

10 miles is the classic club runner's race distance, as well as being an excellent challenge for those who are looking to push beyond 10K. Take part in the VeloPark 10 Mile on 17th October for this fantastic grass roots race organised by one of London's friendliest clubs together with The Race Organiser.

Our event has been fully approved by the Velopark who have looked in detail at our race day plans and risk assessments. The event has been carefully designed to ensure that it will be able to go ahead unless lockdown restrictions are significantly tightened. If the event is cancelled for any reason we will provide a refund minus the costs we have incurred. Our costs increase as the race approaches, so in the event of a last-minute cancellation there may be no refund.
