Entries

The 2009 limit remains at 750.  Once this limit is reached, no more entries will be accepted.  If this limit is not reached by race day we will accept entries on the day up to the race limit.  The race has sold out early for several years and you are advised to enter as early as possible.

 

Entry Fee

The entry fee is £8 if you are ‘Affiliated’ or £10 if you are ‘Unaffiliated’. 

 

Entries on the Day

If we take entries on the day you will be charged an extra £2.  There may be queues so allow yourself extra time.

 

The Course

We are lucky to have a varied and interesting route which includes a mix of town and country.  There is one hill close to the start and a short gradual climb at 8k .  The course has been assessed for safety and the Police have been consulted.  We are hoping they will have staff available on the day to assist.  The race time of 9.45 am is to ensure that all runners are clear of Somerfield supermarket before 10am, when they open.  The course will be well marshalled. The start line is adjacent to Hannakin’s Farm Community Centre where the Race Headquarters are sited.  Hazard Warning:  The Council have installed wooden bollards on the verge at knee-height at the corner of Rosebay and Queens Park Avenue (1k into the course).  We will mark these clearly but please be aware of these potential trip hazards.

 

Race Headquarters

Hannakins Farm Community Centre, Rosebay Avenue, Billericay, Essex, CM12 OSY.  Directions to the Centre will be sent to you with your race number or refer to the “directions and maps” page on this site.

 

Car Parking
There is very limited parking at the Community Centre.  We recommend you avoid the Centre and park considerately in one of the adjacent side roads. (See course map for local area).  Please do not park in Rosebay Avenue as this forms part of the route.

 

Refreshments

Refreshments will be available at the Race Headquarters before and after the race.  Please bring small change.

 

Changing/Bags

You may change at the Community Centre.  There are ample Male and Female Toilets.  You may leave your bags in the main hall which will be attended but we are unable to accept responsibility for their safekeeping.

 

Start Time

The race will start promptly at 9.45am.  Please keep out of the road until the Starter calls you.
