Marlow to Windsor on Sunday 26th July

Sponsored by the Marlow Club

A popular, always over-suscribed event so book early!  Run this gloriously scenic, flat, multi-terrain, point-to-point half marathon along the Thames towpath. Mainly traffic free. Run in reverse directions each year, this year it is 'Down Tow' therefore starting in Marlow and finishing in Windsor, taking in Bourne End, Cookham and Maidenhead along the way. Plenty of parking at either end. You can park at the finish in Windsor and take the coach provided to the start (additional £5) - once you've finished the race your car will be there waiting for you! Spectator friendly route and finish area with refreshments by the river in Windsor, so bring the family! Over subscribed in 2007 & 2008 - very sorry, but no entries on the day and postal entries accepted until 17th July only if limit has not been reached.

This year sees this very popular race running in the reverse direction - from Cowley Rec (Uxbridge) to Cassiobury Park (Watford). A lovely flat, scenic, unusual, multi-terrain course. Traffic-free apart from one minor road crossing. Transport provided (booking required) from the finish to the start BEFORE the race - park your car at the finish, travel to the start by bus, run down the course and pick up your car at the finish.  Lovely spectator-friendly finish in the park.  This race was over-subscribed very early last year, so please book early to be sure of your place!

Volunteers!

Do you enjoy the atmosphere and excitement of Race Day, but don't actually want to run yourself (or maybe you are not able to at the moment)?  Would you enjoy helping out and getting involved?  We always need people to be part of our fantastic trusted band of volunteers.  Duties can be anything from marshalling, manning the finish funnel, water stations or tea/coffee stand, or even setting up the course - different duties but all vitally important in order to have a safe and successful race. 

Or perhaps you know of someone else who enjoys watching you running, who may not mind lending a hand.  It isn't paid work, but is very satisfying and fantastic fun! 

Please contact us if you can help out - we will be extremely pleased to hear from you!
