The route will pass directly by your property and we are seeking your help to ensure the safety of all the participants, marshals, volunteers and spectators of the event.

The event will start outside the Village Hall on Wick Road in Bishop Sutton at 09:30. The runners will head towards , turning left at the Nine Elms junction after New Manor Farm Shop towards North Widcombe Common. We anticipate the majority of runners arriving here at 09:45.

We anticipate the fastest runners arriving here by 09:50.

At the top of Coley Hill the runners will turn left and follow the road towards Westend Farm House. The route continues along the Upper Road in Hinton Blewett, passing in front of St Margaret’s Church and the Ring O’Bells before heading out of the village on the Road. We expect the majority of runners to pass the Pub between 09:55 and 10:25. At the crossroad with Sutton Hill Road the runners will head down the hill back into Bishop Sutton and finish on Church Lane at the junction with Sutton Park.

There are road closures in place in Bishop Sutton to ensure the safety of runners and spectators however this is not the case on the road outside your property due to the time of the event and low volume of traffic using these roads. We would appreciate that wherever possible you try to avoid travelling along these lanes for the short time the event is in progress and follow the instructions of our marshals in the event of using the roads.
