Run from the Romans happens in the surroundings of Ham Hill Country Park.  The country park forms an excellent backdrop for running in thanks to it’s iron age hill fort, modern and ancient quarries, woods and numerous historic sites and monuments.  Our race HQ is the Ranger Hut (it’s bigger than a hut) near the Prince of Wales pub.

The race takes in two areas of the former iron age hill fort and we also go through Hedgecock Woods which now grows on the slopes of the hillfort.

The race is on a 5 mile course with 2 laps for the 10 miler.  There will be refreshments at the end and on the course, with the refreshments at the end also serving as the halfway aid station for the 10 miler.  We are also planning an aid station on the course in a location yet to be determined (there is a short list).  The course will be well marked with plenty of signs with reflective elements, reflective course markings and lights to guide you around.

Terrain varies from small bits of tarmac, a lot of gravel paths as well as mud paths some exposed rocks and a fair amount of grass.  With the time of year we’d expect trail shoes to be a good idea but watch the group Facebook page for updates in the week of the race.

You will need to wear a head torch to race and carry spare batteries or a backup torch, a limited number of which will be available to hire or buy on the night.  We recommend emailing to book.

All finishers will receive a finishers medal for the 5 or 10 miles.
