The Half Marathon, which tracks through very attractive Chilterns countryside, is an ideally timed event for runners coming back to competitive running after winter training and is frequently used as a training run ahead of London Marathon and elsewhere. There will be signage notifying runners at each mile point along the course and there will be several drinks stations along the route.
The 5 Mile Run (starts 10.30am) is a very popular event with local runners, especially family teams, local schools and community groups who raise sponsorship for their own charitable causes. Sharing part of the Half Marathon route through beautiful countryside, finishing the run gives a great sense of achievement. The 5 Mile Run follows the first part of the Half Marathon route. Two thirds of the course will be on country roads, with one uphill section. There will be a drinks station at about the half way point.
