5 MILE RACE 11.00am

The race starts promptly at 11.00 am on Jubilee Park, with a half circuit of the perimeter before crossing onto the field paths on the Abbots Ripton Estate. The course is entirely off road and the paths are grass and farm tracks. The route has gentle undulations and when recently inspected the course was firm and dry. The course is a single circuit and returns to Jubilee Park completing the remaining perimeter of the field. The Start and Finish are at the same point. Please keep moving once you have crossed the finish line. Timing chips will be removed in the finish area and finisher medals and goody bags collected.

1.5 MILE FUN RUN 10.00am

The fun run starts at 10.00am and is 2 laps of Jubilee Park. The race starts at the gantry with the timing mat. The second lap passes the start without running through the timing mat. On completing the second lap runners pass through the finish funnel , where timing chips are removed and medals and goody bags collected.
