Aspire Running Events Ltd are proud to announce the third and last event of the year at Old Down Country Park.
The Old Down Country Park 10/5k Winter Run plus Family Fun Runs event will be held on Sunday 15th November 2015.
Registration will open at 9am for competitors to collect their race packs.
The 1k and then the under 5’s 50m will start off this fun event at 10am.
The start time for the 10/5k will be 11am.
As a pre Christmas event and to kick off our festive calendar we will be encouraging you all to compete in fancy dress, this is of course entirely optional but would add that extra bit of fun to this popular event.
This event has something to offer everyone. An exciting and exhilarating off road, 10/5k multi-terrain course for the experienced/novice longer distance runner and a 1k Family Fun Run which is great fun for all the family, this will also be open to any age group and for all abilities. We will also have our usual free under 5’s 50m dash which has become so very popular and is amazing to watch.
The 5k/10k (2 loop 5k) which is a multi-terrain, off road course. It begins in the idyllic grounds of Old Down Country Park before heading out for a superb 1.5 mile woodland section which can become very muddy and challenging!! The course then takes in some fantastic open space before heading back into the woods for an uphill section leading back into the park. Then the course takes in the amazing grounds of Old Down Country Park before heading to the finish line.
The 1k will also be an off road course, again taking in the beautiful grounds of the Country Park but this time will be on flat terrain. This is open to anyone of any age or ability who can either run, jog or walk around the course. This will also be buggy friendly.
The under 5’s 50m will be on flat grass within the Adventure Play area of the Park.
The route will be fully marshalled and fully marked out with our usual run route signs plus eco – friendly temporary spray paint arrows on the floor.
All runners will receive a medal and goody bag. There will be a half way water/feed station for the 10k runners and the finishers table will have our usual treats, including fruit, sweets and cake!
First Aid will be on stand by throughout the event.
