RACE ROUTE

The route is the same revised route from 2017.

We start on the market place, do a loop around Belle Vue road, back into town then up the Market place again before heading into Mappleton.

We then run through Mappleton and up to Spend Lane and along to Thorpe, continue to Ilam, Blore and then a quick there and back through Okeover park to see how you are getting on then back into Mappleton.

We then turn off Mappleton road at the Bike Hire car park and run back into Ashbourne through the tunnel then back into town via Church Lane and to the short finish on the Recreation Ground.

CUPDATE

Nothing much has changed in a year, you will all have seen the many recent news stories about plastic waste and how it ends up polluting our environment.

You see more and more 'compostable' and 'biodegradable' cups but most are PLA lined and are simply not readily compostable. So we again urge all runners to bring their own water bottles for the end of the race and carry water where possible.

We still have a responsibility to keep you all safe and hydrated so we will still be providing water (in recyclable cups) on route and water will be provided at the finish. We ask all our runners to take care where they throw their used cups at water stations so we can easily collect them afterwards for recycling.

Thank you for helping to minimise the impact of our half marathon.
