Course Route

The runners will congregate on the north-western side of the Maidenhead Office Park perimeter road.

They will start by doing a clockwise loop of the Maidenhead Office Park (MOP). At the fountain after the initial loop, the runners will turn left onto Westacott Way and continue to the top by the entrance to Woolley Hall (before the Bath Rd roundabout). Here the runners will do a U-turn and return to the fountain.

At the fountain, the runners will turn left and do a second loop of the MOP. At the fountain after the second loop, the runners will then turn left again and proceed up Westacott Way.

At the junction with Cycleway 4 (CW4), the runners will turn left onto CW4 and proceed to towards Bottle Lane. At the junction with Bottle Lane, the runners will turn left onto Bottle Lane and proceed towards White Waltham Village via Butchers Lane.

At the junction with Woodlands Park Road, the runners will turn left and head towards Woodlands Park passing the West London Aero Club on the left. At the bottom of Cannon Lane, the runners will turn left and then after about 300 yards turn left into Breadcroft Lane. The runners will continue up Breadcroft Lane over the railway bridge to the end where they will turn left into Cherry Garden Lane.

The runners will continue down Cherry Garden Lane and then immediately right onto CW4 again. At the junction with Westacott Way the runners will turn left and head down towards the fountain. At the fountain the runners will turn left and do a third loop of the MOP.

The finish is on the south-western side of the perimeter road before the right-hand bend that heads towards the Race HQ.
