Stockley Park Easter Monday 10k 2010

Stockley Park, Uxbridge, UB11 1HB

Monday 5th April, 2010 at 10:30am

THIS WOULD MAKE A PERFECT PRE-LONDON SHARPENER!

This gently undulating course is a mixture of footpaths, trails and wide, mainly traffic-free roads, taking in Stockley park and the Golf Club. Great spectator-friendly start and finish, with refreshments available, so bring the family. Good on-site parking. Easily accessible – close to M4, M25, Heathrow, with good rail links.  

Marshals needed - if you, or someone you know, can't run this year, why not give a few hours of your time marshaling.  In return, we will give you a guaranteed free place in next year's race (or another PP race).  It's a vital function as races can't go ahead without marshals, but you'll be surprised how much fun it is too!  Email us to put your name down or for more info.

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!
