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 50m from the race registration area.

The course -

​We have a new and improved multi terrain 10km course for you this year. The course features wide farm tracks, bridleways and footpaths,  and only a very short stretch of tarmac road.

​

You'll start by leaving the brewery courtyard and joining a private track before a bridleway with a stunning view drops downs into a valley to 1km. You'll retrace your steps here later on the way back to the finish line, so keep a little back for the final KM!!

 

A wide undulating track takes you to 3.8km and the first water point.

​

From the water station you continue along a farm track to later join the ancient Ridgeway trail, which in turn leads you to the 2nd water refill station at 7.0km. Here, you reach the highest point on course. ​

​

A track through some woodlands brings you a sweeping descent into the valley through 8km before you rejoin the first section of the course again at 9km.

​

85% of your route is off-road and you have an elevation gain of 180m throughout. Currently the terrain is firm enough to use road shoes, but keep an eye on the weather as we approach race day. The ground is uneven, and some portions are narrow.

Water Stations – TWO on the course: 3.8km and 7.0 Km 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 road section of the course, please keep tight to the left hand side at all points & 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!

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, Ramsbury Gold 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's just a walk across the brewery courtyard to reach the bar, and you can redeem your voucher; it can be used once, and on event day only. The bar in the brewery building where race registration was earlier. You can collect your drink as soon as you cross the finish line. 

​

Bottled beer & canned soft drinks are available for those who'd prefer to take their drink away with them.

 

Hot & Cold drinks, snacks and hot food are available to purchase from our event vendors from 08:00 onwards from the brewery courtyard.

​

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

​​

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