COURSE ROUTE

Event HQ

The HQ for the event is Beaconsfield Rugby Club at Windsor End, Beaconsfield, accessed from the roundabout in the centre of Beaconsfield Old Town on the A40. Postcode for satnav HP9 2SQ. Please avoid using the narrow residential Lakes Lane route.

The clubhouse will be open from 8.00am for a prompt 10.00am start. Please arrive in good time to collect your number / timing chip.

Parking

New for 2026 – the M40 service station at Beaconsfield is providing FREE ALL-DAY PARKING for race participants. The race HQ can be reached from the service station by a short walk via a footbridge over the motorway which comes out opposite the Rugby Club. This parking arrangement means you can change and use the motorway services before and after the race. The cars will need to display a notice – and we will provide further instructions nearer to the event.

There is limited parking opposite the Rugby Club, Please follow marshal instructions. Once this parking is full, please use the motorway services, street parking in Windsor End or car parking in Beaconsfield Old Town, a short walk from the Rugby Club.

Please note that there are a few residential roads near the club that will not be available for public parking and marshals will be advising entrants to park elsewhere.

Please car share where possible. Bikes are also welcome.

Bag Drop

There is no managed bag drop but bags can be left in the bar area in the clubhouse, next to the race registration area. There is a bag drop identifier on your race number which you must tie to your bags for identification.

Please note that bags are left at your own risk.

Race Number

The race number must be attached to the front of your running top. Runners must run with the number and chip allocated to them. Any runner identified as not doing this will be disqualified and barred from future events.THIS IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT, especially in the event of an accident and is a requirement of England Athletics, through whom we obtain our race licence.

Please remember to complete the emergency contact details on the reverse of the race number.

Toilets

Portable toilets and a male urinal will be located outside the clubhouse / race HQ. Please do not use the bushes in the vicinity. This is a condition for the use of the Hall Barn Estate and the Rugby Club. There are also limited toilets in the club house.

Start

The race starts at 10.00 am on the entrance to the Estate so please assemble by 9.50 am. Dress appropriately for the weather and run at your own pace. If you are feeling unwell, do not run. The start is 300m from the clubhouse and there is a need to cross a public road – please take note of marshals’ instructions.

Water

A water station will be located at the Start / Finish, but we encourage runners to bring their own water. The race starts and finishes at the same point and bottles can be left on the side.

Spectators

Please be aware that spectators are not permitted within the grounds of the Estate beyond the bridge over the M40. If you have friends and family with you please make them aware of this.

The race start and finish area must be kept clear for runners coming through. Buggies must not block the race start and finish area.

Dogs must be kept on a lead at all times and are not permitted on the Hall Barn farmland. Any mess must be collected and taken home – there are no dog waste bins in the vicinity of the Hall Barn Estate or Beaconsfield Rugby Clubhouse. However, there are dog waste bins at the motorway services.

Chip Timing

Your timing chip is attached to the back of the race number. Make sure you cross the mats both at the start and the finish of the event (but only once).

If you decide you do not want to finish the race, you must still cross the finish line otherwise you could be reported as a missing person and a search party will be sent out! If you do not want your time recorded, then please approach the timing tent and request an official DNF or DNS.

Marshals

Please obey the marshals’ instructions. They are there for your convenience and safety – as with any trail course there are many potential risks. Should an accident occur or you witness an accident, please ensure that the marshals are informed immediately.

Between marshal points the course will be marked with arrows, small flags or tape on the bushes. No signs mean you are going the wrong way!

First Aid

First aiders will be in attendance at the finish and within the grounds of the Estate. If you feel unwell, contact a marshal who will arrange help. If you are not a regular runner, please check beforehand with your GP. 

Finish

Once you have crossed the finish line please keep moving through the finish area to the marshals to receive your medal.

To avoid congestion around the finish line, please encourage your family and supporters to take photos away from this area.
