Burnham Beeches

A one mile sprint finishing on Lord Mayor’s Drive in Burnham Beeches. The Lord Mayor’s Mile is mainly a fun, family event followed by a picnic BBQ at the finish but there is an element of competition involved, this is after all a Club Championship event!

All members, new and old, fast and slow, young or not-so-young can run a mile, and the non-runners in your family will be welcome to run too. Bring your own food and drink, cooking facilities and basic sustenance (nibbles, bread, water, beer) provided. Bottle prizes up for grabs. Don’t miss it!
