Course

The 10km multi-terrain course consists of 2 laps around Beckenham Place Park on footpaths through woods and grass fields. It is subject to UKA rules, in particular the use of all Headphone, Audio Devices and/or mobile phones with headphones is prohibited. Runners should be prepared for uneven surfaces, hills, protruding tree roots, and in the event of wet weather, some muddy and/or slippery surfaces.

The course will be marshalled at regular points and there will be a sweeper to accompany the last runner(s) on the 2nd lap. Trail shoes are recommended (spikes are not required), but road shoes should also be adequate except in the event of heavy rainfall beforehand. There will be a water station at 5km and at the finish.

Facilities & Parking

There are changing facilities, showers and toilets at race HQ.  There is limited car parking within the club grounds, but there is plenty of free on-road parking on the surrounding roads.  Cycle parking is available within the car park.

Travel

Race HQ is approximately 5 minutes’ walk from Beckenham Junction station (trains from Victoria/Orpington, Croydon Tramlink and local buses), 10 minutes from both New Beckenham (trains from Hayes/Charing Cross) and Ravensbourne Stations (trains from Orpington).  Local buses serve stops located on Foxgrove and nearby Southend Road.

Race Number Collection

Your race number will be ready to collect from race HQ on the day between 09:30 and 10:30. 

Before the race

Runners are welcome to use the club grounds at race HQ to warm up.  Approximately 20 minutes before the start time a horn will sound, entrants should make their way to the start (see map below).  It is approximately 800 metres from race HQ, so please leave in plenty of time.

The Start

Please note that the last post will be played and there will be a silence observed before the race; the start will therefore be at 11:02.  The start and finish is in the South West corner of the park, just down from the Mansion House.  There is a gate to access the park at the end of Beckenham Place Park Road.

Finish / After the race

A memento will be awarded to all finishers and there will be tea and cake for all runners back at race HQ (as long as stocks last!). Other refreshments will be available for purchase from the club bar after 12 noon.

Runner Instructions

Runner Instructions for all entrants are now available with full details of the event.

Please remember to collect your race number from race HQ on the day between 09:30 and 10:30.
