The 10k is just over 6 miles and perfect for those looking for more of a challenge. Take on a longer distance without pressure! If you enjoy walking or running and have taken part in charity runs before, then a 10k could be the one for you. Take it at your own pace, in a group, or go solo and push yourself a bit further while helping to fund our life-saving cancer research.

Course information

The Windsor 10K is a part double lap, with an additional stretch, the route takes in the stunning grounds of the Royal Windsor Racecourse, and is in the perfect setting for Race for Life. The flat course takes place on both tarmac and grass,  travelling between the Racetrack and the River Thames, before looping back into the centre of the Racetrack. Grass sections can not be avoided and some section of the course can be quite narrow. 

Please arrive 30 to 45mins before your start time so that you are prepared and ready to go on time.

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. You will be able to refill this at the refill station when you finish.

The nearest stations are Windsor and Eton Riverside or Windsor and Eton Central. However, the venue is about a 35 minute walk away and no public bus routes pass by the racecourse. We therefore recommend trying to carpool in a taxi with friends. There is plenty of free parking at the venue.
