Course information

Winchester 5k is a two lap course - starting in North Walls Recreation Grounds, participants will head out towards the tennis courts and loop around the recreational grounds before crossing over to the grounds of Winchester Rugby Club. From here, the route heads down Nuns Walk which continues onto the second lap. Towards the end of the second lap, the route re-enters North Walls Recreation Ground via Nuns Walk, finishing back at the start line.

There will not be any water refill stations along the course so if you require water during the event, please remember to bring your own reusable water bottle already filled up. A ScottishPower water refill station will be available to use at the finish.

Please arrive 30 to 45 mins 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 correspond with digital tracking apps and watches.&a
