Course information
Our 5k event offers a flat, single lap route around The Stray. The terrain is a mixture of grass and paths and is suitable for all levels of fitness and experience.
This event can accomodate wheelchair users but please be mindful that although this course is flat, over 50% is on grass with no path alternative so assistance may be required.
Please bring a reusable water bottle with you if you require water during the event, as there will only be water available at the finish.
