Race Guide
Concorde One Hour Race
Date / Time
Length
6.21 miles (10.0 km)
Description
How far can you run or walk in 60 minutes? 5km – easy, a comfortable walk in the park, but how about 10km, 12km, or perhaps even 15km? Mo Farah holds the world record with 21.33km run in one hour and Sifan Hassan holds the ladies record at 18.93km.
On the 5th of June you can enter an event to find out. We have a closed road circuit of one mile length and entrants will have one hour to complete as many laps as they can in that time. Each entrant’s distance will be calculated based on their time to complete the lap they are on when the clock strikes the hour. Many runners will see 10km as a challenge so the course will be set up so that the timing mat on the seventh lap will be at exactly 10km.
The event is named after the supersonic aircraft Concorde. In one hour Concorde could get halfway to New York. Taxiing on the ground the aircraft would probably do 30 to 35km in the hour so not even Mo Farah could catch a missed flight.
