Hi - thank you for entering the Umborne Ug 10k on Saturday 11 June 2022 at 6.00pm. Thanks also to Axe Valley Runners for letting us have all the necessary items to put on a race and their support and all the locals for their amazing support.

Please read the following race details:

Route:  The start is slightly different this year, we hope you think it is an improvement : the first loop around the road will be the other way round, starting at the hall but heading the other way down to the farm and turning right giving spectators extra times to see their running friends. There will be 21 marshals around the course, plenty of signs, 2 backmarkers and hopefully no cows! A map of the route is available on www.plotaroute.com  ref. 1891166.

The change to the route is that we are not running down to Widworthy along the road and have removed the slippery slope up from there. It has been replaced by a very scenic section on the Widworthy Estate.  There are some tricky bits through the first wood so please be careful. Please do not leave any litter anywhere on the course. At the finish, runners will receive a blue Arc bag.

Water: there is a water station about half way through the race. We are trying to go cupless this year so please bring your own cups and bottles etc. Water station helpers will happily fill those items.  There is also a water station at the finish. Also at the finish there is medical help.

Dogs: no dogs are allowed on the route although there may be a couple of walkers with them on public parts of the route.

Parking: most drivers will be asked to park in the fields near the hall. Parking is available from about 5pm - please look for the signs.

Registration: this is in the hall - please go to Russell to pick up your numbers and then fill in the medical details on the back. Safety pins will be available but please bring your own if you have them. We do allow runners to register on the day from about 5pm to 5-50pm.

Toilets: there are 3 toilets in the hall and 4 portaloos outside.

Briefing: there will be a briefing by Eleanor near the start outside the hall at about 5.50pm.

Fun Run: there is also a flat and mostly on road 2.5k Fun Run for anyone, at the hall at 6.10pm. Children under 8 must be accompanied by a responsible adult please. All children in the run will receive a medal.

Awards: there are prizes for 1,2,3 Male,  1,2,3 Female,   1M vet 40, 50, 60     1F vet 35, 45, 55. These will be awarded at about 7.30pm hopefully.

Food and Drink:  We hope you will stay after the run to enjoy a  BBQ, bar, cakes and hot drinks, so please tell your families to come along.

Many thanks - Rick Wood  Race Director  and   Eleanor Wood Axe Valley Runners Female Captain and organiser
