The course

After leaving the cheering crowds behind at the start in Hartletts Park, the 10k route takes a tour of Hook via Oak Tree Drive and Birch Grove before cutting right just before Wellworth Park to Hazel Coppice.

A left back onto Oak Tree Drive and another left to Alderwood Drive, followed by a right turn at Reading Road leads runners onto the B3349 and towards the picturesque village of Rotherwick.

A left-hand turn on Frog Lane passes Tylney Park Golf Club for an uphill stretch past beautiful Tylney Hall.

At the crossroads another left turn leads athletes to the War Memorial and back onto the A30 through the centre of Hook to the finishing tunnel and the atmospheric Hartletts Park.

There will be three water stations around the route, as shown on the map below.
