The course itself is undulating and passes through some of the most beautiful countryside. There are two drink stations out on the course and also one at the finish.

What a fabulous event, perfect organisation, beautiful day... Can’t wait till next year! Mandy Taylor

Along the course you will pass the Royal Lodge which was the Queen Mother’s residence and then at around 5.5km you will pass the Statue of Queen Elizabeth II erected in celebration of her Golden Jubilee.

There is no limit to the number of entrants in each team but a minimum of 3 runners are required to score in the team results.

Who is it for?

The event is ideal for inter-branch or inter-departmental challenges – see how head office really matches up against the local branch, Finance against IT, or management vs staff, and of course, businesses are positively encouraged to challenge your competitors to “meet up” on the start line! All businesses are welcome, no matter what the size eg. Hairdressers, Nail Salons, small gyms, etc. As long as you can get three employees together, then you have a team!

Fabulous race - first time we have done this one and probably one of the best organised and friendly 10Ks we have participated in! Thank you, we will be back! Love the medal. Claire Henderson

Brilliant event, thank you organisers. A special thank you to all the helpers along the route who clapped and said encouraging words to keep a very slow participant going. I hope they realise how a clap and a few words makes all the difference. You even sorted out the weather for us. Thank you again, I suspect I will back again next year. Jenny Livy

What a wonderful morning…. We ladies of Hook Runners had the loveliest time. We got many PBs and a podium place among us, but the best bit was the camaraderie and the fact that 4 of our boys… 2 of our beloved injured and some of our offspring came to cheer… and that sun shone (just enough and just at the right time!) Thanks for a great race. Jackie Wilson

What a fabulous event, perfect organisation, beautiful day! Thank you to the lovely sub 60 pacer. Can’t wait till next year! Mandy Taylor
