Great races ... great locations!
Reading O2O 10k Start/Finish: Thames Valley Park, Reading RG61RA Sunday 3rd October 2010 - 9am We are delighted to bring this classic 10k back onto the racing calendar. The flat race route embraces Reading's waterways for much of the distance, offering and appealing multi-surfaced course that takes in rural, modern and historical areas of the town and surrounding countryside. The race has a history of selling out, so book early! Spectator friendly start/finish on the river bank - and the family can see you run past at different points in the race! Refreshments available on-site.
Grand Union Canal Half Marathon Start: Cowley Recreation Ground, Uxbridge, UB8 2EA Finish: Cassiobury Park, Watford,WD18 7HY Sunday 14th November 2010 - 10am Run this unusual, scenic, flat, multi-terrain, point-to-point half marathon along the Grand Union Canal towpath, taking in locks and different landscapes as you pass by. Traffic free apart from one marshaled road crossing. As this is a point-to-point race, you can park at the finish and take the coach provided to the start (additional £5 - must be booked when you enter) - once you've finished the race your car will be there waiting for you! Great finish in Cassiobury Park - a spectator friendly finish area with cafe and 190 acres of parkland, so bring the family! Over subscribed last year, sorry, but no entries on the day and postal entries accepted until 5th Nov only if limit has not been reached.
Volunteers! Do you enjoy the atmosphere and excitement of Race Day, but don't actually want to run yourself (or maybe you are not able to at the moment)? Would you enjoy helping out and getting involved? We always need people to be part of our fantastic trusted band of volunteers. Duties can be anything from marshalling, manning the finish funnel, water stations or tea/coffee stand, or even setting up the course - different duties but all vitally important in order to have a safe and successful race. Or perhaps you know of someone else who enjoys watching you running, who may not mind lending a hand - it's very satisfying and fantastic fun! Please contact us if you can help out - we will be extremely pleased to hear from you! Purple Patch Running has teamed up with other leading UK road races and triathlons to produce a comprehensive on-line medical and nutritional guide for all distance runners. It’s well worth a look and will really help you have a stress and injury free preparation and race day. Click on the logo to access the Runners Medical Resource Centre.
