Congratulations to everyone who took part this year and a special mention to our overall winners:

The Burnham Beeches Half Marathon and 10k offers a choice of two distances, both on a mix of closed roads and hard surfaced woodland paths through the cool shade of the Burnham Beeches ancient woodland in South Bucks. It’s the perfect setting for a summer race.

The Half Marathon is a two lap route which starts and finishes at Caldicott School, Farnham Common. The 10k route is a single lap. Both routes are clearly marked and will be well marshalled.

REVIEWS FROM PREVIOUS YEARS – THANKS FOR THE GREAT FEEDBACK!

“Thank you so much, what a well organised event, with a really great atmosphere!”

“I arrived needing to drop from the half marathon to 10k distance due to injury, your registration team was tremendously efficient (thank you Yvette).”

“The course was lovely and I encountered nothing but kindness and smiles from all the marshals and everyone involved in the event. A top morning “

“Thank you for a fantastic and friendly introduction to running events! I really enjoyed my first race Thanks to the marshals and volunteers for making it special”

“Lovely route thankful for the shade from the trees. Thank you to the very supportive, friendly & enthusiastic marshals “

“Loved it as usual, but particularly the back to front route. Fabulous marshals and such a happy atmosphere.”

“Really enjoyed the 10km. Fantastic course, well organised and with fabulous marshals throughout.”

“It is a race that I keep coming back to every year.”

“Amazing Marshall’s and fantastic day. Thank you all for such a well organised event and your support and positivity. So lovely to be out running again with others. Loved the reversed route. So much better not having that big hill at the end. See you all next year!”

“Thoroughly enjoyed the event this morning very well organised as usual just waiting for next year’s event entry to open. Big thank you to all who volunteered and organised the event.”

“I have previously taken part in the Half Marathon at Burnham Beeches. This was my first time at running the 10Kms – great – would definitely do it again. Challenging (who put those hills in the way !!!) but very enjoyable, friendly event. :-)”

“My first ever big organised event and I really enjoyed it! Usually run on my own or with one or two work colleagues, so it was a real buzz to set off with hundreds of other runners. Lovely course through the woods, plenty of shade – ideal for August – a few gentle hills but nothing too challenging, very well organised and marshalled. Loads of encouragement to keep you going! If I ever step from 10k to HM I’d like to do it here.”

“Excellent race, beautiful scenery, great organisation. Will definitely do it again.”

“Scenic 2 lap course (one lap for the 10k), lots of excellent marshalls and spectators, plenty of shade and water stops to see off the summer heat. Mostly on road with some easy trail paths… first lap is full of lovely undulating hills, which feel like steep mountains by the second lap! Some brilliant bonuses, like a swimming pool at the end, and your name on the race shirt.”
