Race Start
The race will have a warm up in the event village 15 minutes prior to the start time.
After the warm up, estimated finish times will be called to the starting line where our marshals will guide you into a start formation.
Please remain in the event village until you hear your estimated finish time called out.
During the race
We will have marshals all around the course as well as km signs and arrows.
Starting from Walton Lane, the partially road-closed chip-timed 10k follows the River Thames towards Weybridge Town Centre. It then winds back through the finish line, for the first time, where you can experience the cheering crowd before heading back towards Weybridge along Oatlands Drive. Once past the Weybridge Monument, there is a scenic trip back along Walton Lane to the finish line.
4.5k-7k of the route is on pavement with the rest being on closed roads.
You can see the course map HERE.
Please discard of any water bottles or rubbish in the litter zones along the course.
The kids race will follow an out and back 2km circuit starting and finishing under the gantry.
After The Race
Do NOT stop within the finish area. Please continue through the finish until you pass the medals and are in an open space.
There will be sealed ACTIPH water bottles at the finish for each runner to collect along with your medal, Love Corn, Bounce Ball and mince pie which will be laid out on tables for you to help yourself.
We are collecting for the Walton and Hersham Food bank at this race in the event village. We welcome all runners who are able to, to bring a donation to leave with the Food Bank stall. (All donations must be unopened and in date).
