These are the perfect autumn races for runners of all abilities.
With a flat route, they are great races for seasoned runners looking for a PB and many return year after year to get a fast time. If you've done the Spring Shakespeare, then one of these races will be ideal to measure your improvement over the season.
For new runners, there is a 5km race which is justone lap of the course. And you have the added advantage of starting with all the other runners who will help to carry you along to the finish.
The Course
The course is based on a traffic free 5km lap on tarmac and is designed to give spectators lots of opportunities to cheer you on. With no roads or traffic to navigate, all you have to do is concentrate on running. Easy.
