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.

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, footpaths and woodland trails, and about 2.5km of local lanes.
You'll start on a track leaving the brewery for the first 1km before reaching a road. You'll retrace your steps here later on the way back to the finish line. We'll keep you on a wide country lane from 1km until 3km, and that'll give you chance to spread out before hitting the trails.
From 3km you'll take a beautiful forestry path to the 1st drink station at 4km.
More woodland trail to halfway before a wide track through shade takes you to the 7km mark and the 2nd water refill point. Two short single track sections see you reach 8km, and shortly afterwards you pop out onto the road for a descent to 9km and the return to the brewery.
75% of your route is off-road and you have an elevation gain of 140m throughout. Currently the terrain is firm enough to use road shoes. The ground is uneven on the trail sections, and some portions are narrow.
Water Stations – TWO on the course: 4km and 7Km and at the start/finish. No cups are provided, carry your own bottle/cup.
Safety -
The course is likely to be uneven underfoot at times, look after yourselves and others. Along the road sections 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 & Renegade 10km cup. 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 next to race registration. 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 taproom restaurant- there is a full menu service from 11am onwards. Between 08:30 - 10:30 there is a breakfast service.
Food is also available from the mobile bar outside from 08:30 onwards and throughout the event.
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.
