What to expect on the day 

This will be a fully marked and stewarded route. Some crowds may form by members of the public in the park but otherwise runners can expect a quieter than normal 10k event, with the beautiful and relaxing scenes of the park to admire throughout.  

There will be a small event village with stalls to purchase merchandise, find out more about the charity and light refreshments.  

As always, our team are on hand to support with anything that can make the day more accessible for you. 

For more information or to ask any questions you may have, email fundraising@nas.org.uk or call our Supporter Care team on 0808 800 1050. 

** This event is for over 18’s only. Please read our event FAQs.

** All runners must agree to the terms and conditions of this event to take part.
