Fingers crossed on the evening of the race we get sunshine like this morning.
The start and finish line are by the pavillion heading towards the band stand. A sharp left turn and you will all be heading towards the gates and out of the park to turn right.
Running along the tarmac and rubberised path of the trans Pennine trail. The occasional dog walker will be along here wondering what on earth you are all doing.
All the route is sign posted and marshalled at the key points so you can’t get lost.. (I’ve done it myself on races, not just once either 😔).
our local farming friends will removing and replacing the stones as we bring you out onto a short road section. KEEP RIGHT the whole way along to the next turning.
We turn you back into the parklands and run in the flat path between the lake and pit top. No hills on this race!!!!!
The only obstacle is an anti bike gate. Easy to run through at speed. We will encourage you to be single file through here, no need to hurdle.
then immediately left back onto the long and wide pathways to bring you back to Bentley park.
One last sprint and the finish line awaits!!! Ready for your post race coffee!!
