Description
The Multi Terrain Twist 5k starts and finishes in the quiet picturesque Hampshire village of Kingsclere, a place that can trace its history back to 872 when it was originally part of the crown estates of King Alfred.
The village is situated between Newbury and Basingstoke on the A339 allowing good access from both the M4 and M3 motorways.
There will be 2 parking areas for the race with each of the locations less than a 10 minute gentle stroll to the start/finish line.
From the start of the race at the Fieldgate Centre, a short road section quickly leads into paths and open tracks. After about 700 metres the route follows a long flat path along one of the gallops horse training routes.
After running through a small wood with open glades both the route crosses Winchester Road leading to a flat long straight picturesque run along a second gallops race horse training area.At the end of this straight, the route joins a small quite private road before once again crossing Winchester Road and passing through Gaily Mill.Runners have an option to track for a short time through the stream by the abandoned Mill or along the narrow footpath before heading up and returning to the finish at the Fieldgate Centre.
