5x5

First Thursday in April

This event takes place in the charming village of Steeple Ashton from the local pub along the White Horse Trail to East Town Farm and back.

Start is at 19:00

Outward route
Run straight down the wide grassy track to a signpost on the left. Cross the field to a wooden bridge, cross that and turn right. Keep straight on along the right hand side of the field. The route then proceeds along a winding trail which arrives at a junction. Turn right and start a gentle climb up to the farm, turn right (passed it) and run to the turning point where you will be instructed by a marshal to return along the same route.

The race finishes just outside the pub!

Of course the terrain is different each month varying from dry, through wonderful green scenery, to lots of mud. Nettles have even been known towards the end of the season.
