THE BRINKWORTH MULTI TERRAIN 10K BASH

It's back again this year with an improved route on the quiet paths, tracks, byways and minor lanes of rural North Wiltshire. The undulating route is generally firm underfoot in September although a wet summer could make some sections interestingly muddy! But there are also some fast sections and in dry conditions we could easily see a new course record set this year.

The event offers a great intro to multi terrain running, as well as being an interesting and varied course of approx 10k for experienced runners. 

The Start and Finish are in Brinkworth Recreation field, where free parking, a toilet block, a shelter/baggage tent, and cafe refreshments will be available. The field has a play area and there will also be a free bouncy castle.
