Next event: 8th January 2025

What is it?

An event for road runners over 3 miles (well, actually 2.85 miles or 4.6 km), but with a couple of differences from most runs:

• It’s a handicap event - the slowest runners start first. The first time you enter you will be consulted about your expected time for 3 miles/5 kilometres.

• When we get it right - more often than not - you all come over the finishing line in close order.

• It’s held every month - since June 1988 - with no plans to stop.1057 different entrants to date.

• It’s absolutely prizeless ! You get no medals, no goody bags - just glory (and sweat) - except for a "Frequent Flyer" medal to every runner (21 so far) who finishes more than 100 runs - including 4 who have completed more than 200 runs and Alan Davidson who has completed more than 300 runs.

Please note: the use of headphones in this race is not recommended.
