Course information

The start and finish lines are on tarmac paths. The event site is entirely on grass which can be uneven. Ground conditions may vary according to recent weather conditions. 

The 10k course is a single lap combination of surfaced paths, road, woodland paths and track which can feature undulating terrain. There are some uphill and slight downhill gradients which all add to the fun and challenge. 

Please remember to bring your own water bottle already filled as there will be no bottled water provided at events. There will be a water refill station 1/2 around the course and a Scottish Power water refill station will be available to use at the finish. 
Please arrive 30 to 45mins before your start time so that you are prepared and ready to go on time. 
Our courses have been measured with a measuring wheel.  This is the most accurate measurement method and may not always match up with fitbits, Strava and Apple watches.

You can take part in any Race for Life event as an individual or a group to raise money for life-saving research.
