Please make sure you have read and comply with the Participant Code Of Conduct and Parent Code Of Conduct.
Please take care turning into the area as traffic travels fast along this road.
We will sign the entrance with the JOG banner as it’s hard to put signs out along the road.
Cater from beginners through to a good club standard. We call the courses Hare, Squirrel, Badger and Fox and these offer a clear progression in the difficulty level. Fox course incorporates adult training exercises.
Planner Tom Hasler has designed a special schematic/London underground map of all the line features to present a greater challenge!
Pictured further above is Tom’s map. If you would like to have a go email jandr.craddock@gmail.com and we’ll make sure there’s a map for you.
£1 per head for everyone (whether a member or not).
Second runs are an additional £1.
