General information

In 2027 we are just putting on the 20 mile event.
As well as giving you the opportunity to go for a PB on a fast flat 20 mile course, this event may be useful to many who are planning on competing in a spring marathon - it will give you a good indication of how well your training is going and what time you are likely to achieve on the big day. 

This will be our 10th year and we are keeping the entry limit to 400 - car park space and race HQ dictates this.

The 20 mile route is a two-lap flat course in lovely countryside close to the river Severn. See map below.

There is a cut-off time for the 20 mile route of 4 hours. Anyone not making the start of the 2nd lap after 2 hours will be asked to head back to race HQ. 

Access to the event HQ is on quiet roads and is only 6 miles from junction 14 of the M5. There is ample (hard standing) parking and the start of both courses are no more than 400m from the event HQ, where we will have ample toilet facilities. There will be no baggage drop this year - come ready to run from your car. . 

On the route there will be 6 water stations giving bottled water - three different locations on the route that you pass twice (so 6 in total) and then a further one at the end. None of the water points offer nutrition so you'll need to equip yourself with any gels etc. you may want on the course.

The route has mile markers at every mile (yellow signs). . 

The course is officially measured.
