Our race is known for 3 things :-

1. The Hill – This is Pomathorn hill and is at the 1.5km point in the race. The hill is 1.4km long with an average gradient of 6% here is link to the Strava segment called ‘B7026 climb’ which shows the details: Pomathorn

2. The Support – We have no less than 40 of our club members marshalling the route and are all know for being really encouraging and supportive – please listen to their instructions because they are there to keep you safe too.

3. The Post-Race Spread – Gone are the days when we would hand out a Mars Bar and a sandwich 🙂 Our club members get their aprons on and provide home-baking for you all to enjoy some home-made deliciousness after the race. For this we ask for donations for the mental health charities that we will be supporting.
