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.

​​
Chip Timing – your timing chip is on the back of your race number, so your own start & finish times are taken.
​​
Baggage – leave your bag in the car if you can. We will store bags at registration for those who have cycled.
​​
Toilets – these are found between the car park & race registration. There are also toilets within the brewery tap room.
ON THE COURSE
Race Briefing – further details about the course and final reminders will be in the briefing. This will be online only and found from July 9th.
​
Terrain - The course is mixed terrain and on firm ground. We take in small local roads, woodlands and footpaths. The ground is firm & suitable for road shoes currently, but as a mixed trail course, this is weather dependent!
​
75% of the course is off-road, it is uneven and narrow in places.
​
Hilly/Flat? The route includes 140m of elevation gain throughout the 10km – it does of course also lose 140m as well!
The first and last 1.6km are the same (in reverse directions) and there is a lovely 7km circuit beyond that.
​
Canicross 10km – will complete the same route as the 10km event. Canicross competitors must keep their dogs on a harness throughout and can run with multiple dogs should they wish. However, prizes will only be awarded amongst those running with one dog.
Signage – the course is well signed with yellow arrows, red & white tape and KM markers.​​ As a trail race, there will not be a marshal at every turn, look out for the signage and follow the arrows.
​​
Headphones – we politely request that you do not use in-ear headphones for your own safety.
​​
Water Refill Stations – ONE on course at 6.0km, ONE at the start/finish. These are self service and you will need to carry your own drinks vessel with you – no cups are provided. There will be dog bowls.
​​
Etiquette – there are some single file sections on the course, and the route is open to the general public - please be courteous . You may be in a race, but you don't have priority over others. The road sections are open to traffic.

COURSE IN DETAIL
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, followed by a gravel road through farmland to reach halfway.
​
A short climb, then descent through woodland sees you reach 6km and the water refill station. Winding woodland paths offer plenty of shade over the next 2.5km before 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.
SPECTATOR INFO
As a trail running event, access to portions of the running route is very limited, and we would advise against driving around the local lanes that make up some of the race day course for runners safety.
We suggest that spectators stay onsite at the Renegade Brewery throughout the event.
AT THE FINISH
Back at the finish line opposite the brewery you’ll see our big red Racing Line Running gantry. Cross the line and your result is automatically recorded.
​​
You'll pick up your finishers medal, Reneagde 10km pint cup, and your drink voucher; make sure that you don't lose yours - we don't give them out twice!!
There will be water in containers for you to refill your own bottles or cups with too.
​​
Results & Prizes – ‘live’ results will be available online courtesy of our timers, the awesome Timing Monkey.
​​
Overall prizes will be issued at the finish line with Age Category prizes being posted out in the days after the race.
