Dog Friendly

EVENT FULL - ALL ENTRIES NOW CLOSED & WE ARE NO LONGER ADDING TO OUR WAITING LIST.

The Mortimer 10km has a new look for 2021, with a new multi terrain course and new organisers. As always though, the race will start & finish on Mortimer Fairground, and we have a canicross entry option for those wishing to run the 10km with their dog(s).

PLEASE NOTE - to safely manage the event in accordance with Covid requirements, there will now be no walking event or 1km fun run.

Our new 10km course takes in the beautiful local woodlands, using footpaths and bridleways. The course is undulating and uneven in places, therefore not suitable for pushchairs/buggies or wheelchairs.

CREATIVE JUICES 10KM

RACE BRIEFING

Welcome to the Creative Juices 10km, a new event this year as part of our Ales & Trails series from breweries.

Please make sure that you have read the race instructions on the event website. It is assumed that you have read and understood this brief prior to attending the event.

Event Day Timetable –

08:15 - Car park open

08:30 - Registration Opens

09:45 - Registration Closes

09:55 - Canicross 10km event starts

10:00 – 10km event starts

Registration -

All race numbers are to be collected on the day – no race packs are being posted out in advance. Your race number has a timing chip on the reverse, so please don’t bend or fold it.

The start line is just 250m from the race registration area.

Water Refill Station – ONE on the course at 5.8km and at the start/finish. NO CUPS ARE PROVIDED, carry your own bottle/cup. There will be dog bowls.

Safety -

The course is likely to be uneven underfoot at times, look after yourselves and others. Along the brief road section of the course, please keep tight to the right hand side as this immediately precedes a right hand turn. Listen out for marshals instructions. You do not have priority on the public paths or on the roads, be courteous and be safe.

Signage -

The course is signed with yellow arrows as well as red and white tape tied to trees/bushes. Each kilometre point will be marked. If you do not see any signage, go back to where you last saw an arrow. Pay attention!

The course -

We have a lovely trail 10km course for you. It features wide farm tracks, bridleways, footpaths and woodland trails, and a very short section of road.

You'll start on a track leaving the farm for the first 800m before completing a 2km loop of some fields. You'll retrace your steps here briefly before crossing the M25 and picking some rural paths.

From 4km you'll take a scenic single track footpath with fields all around through the halfway mark to a section of road at 5.4km. From the water refill station at 5.8km you'll find a long sweeping descent on a woodland trail.

From 7km you climb before negotiating a few gates, following public paths across fields to reach woodland again at 8km. A drop downhill is followed by a hill across fields to 9km where you rejoin your route from earlier. Back over the M25 and you're just a couple of turns away from your finish next the Black Barn.

99% of your route is off-road and you have an elevation gain of 136m throughout. Currently the terrain is firm enough to use road shoes, although the course is suitable for any shoe. The ground is uneven on the trail sections, and some portions are narrow.

Finish -

As you cross the finish line your result will be live online via the event website.

On finishing, you'll receive your finishers medal, Creative Juices 10km cup and drink voucher. Water containers are ready for you to fill your own bottles. Remember – no cups are provided.

From the finish line, it is a short walk to get to the brewery, and you can redeem your voucher; it can be used once, and on event day only. The bar in the brewery building will be open, along with the mobile bar in the beer garden next to race registration. The mobile will be serving larger only, with a wider range available in the taproom.

You can collect your drink as soon as you cross the finish line.

Hot & Cold drinks, snacks and hot food are available to purchase from the event vendors - open from 08:15 onwards. The Tea Shack cafe is open from 09:00 also.

Massage is available near the registration area for £10 for 10 mins.

Prizes will be given out at the finish line, with age category prizes being posted out afterwards.
