Please note that there will be portaloos onsite for runners to use. Please use these rather than the toilets in the Heath sports club as they struggle to cope when used by large numbers of people.

Race details

Start: 10:30am

Course: Both women and men will run approx 5.5 miles. There will be one small lap and two large laps. The course is mostly across open downland and is very hilly. Watch out for rabbit holes! It is suitable for spikes, studs or trail shoes.

All entries are taken on the day. However, if you intend to run, it would be helpful if you could add your name to the Serpie planner so we have an idea of how many people are planning to be there. Also, please wear a Serpie top.

Please note that all muddy footwear must be removed before entering the sports centre, especially spikes.

There will be an end of season presentation in the Heath Sports Bar after the race.

Travel

By car: Parking is available at the Heath, but is limited due to other sporting activities taking place. Please arrive early. Car sharing is recommended.

By train: From King’s Cross to Royston station. Please check before leaving in case of Sunday changes / engineering works. The Heath is 15 minutes walk from the station.
