Route information
All three courses remain unchanged from previous years. After starting in the centre of the town, the 10k begins with a gentle climb for the first 3km. This is followed by a short descent and then the rest of the course is flat. Approximately 7km is on the road, with the remainder of the run taking place on footpaths in beautiful surrounding countryside and along the tow path of the Kennet and Avon Canal.
The two junior races for under 16s will take place on closed roads in the town centre.

Our sponsors
The event organisers are immensely grateful for the generous support of the event sponsors, Gardner Leader, Stryker and A-Plan Insurance. Without their encouragement and financial contributions, it simply would not be possible to stage the race and raise funds for the charities.
