Exbury10K

The Exbury 10K is a flat and fast circular course run over country lanes which starts and finishes at Exbury Gardens, taking in spectacular views of the Solent and includes approximately 500 metres of beach front running on the foreshore path at Lepe Beach. Note the start is at an altitude of about 20 metres. The course goes gently down to Lepe which is at sea level and then back up to the start so maybe it is not exactly flat but it's pretty flat.

2012 10K Race and 1.5K Fun Run- Sunday 18 March 2012

Thank you

What a lovely race. A huge amount of work went on behind the scenes to make it happen. Thanks very much to Race Director, Sue Stone and her team. Thanks also the the many people who marshalled so cheerfully. And of course, thanks to everyone who ran; we hope you had a great time and will be back next year.

You can see comments on Runners World here. Our fame has spread far and wide. We had runners from Brussels in the 10K and the Fun Run and they have promised to come back next year with more! And we had a lovely email from a Japnese runner who said, "I totally enjoyed the run at Exbury Gardens, and it was amazing at everything. Beautiful scenaries which define England (I had never experienced running with horses!), pretty warm people who cheered me up here and there, prompt updates of information on the web, and many other things were all first-rate. I really want to come back here again and hope other Japanese runners will have a chance to visit and run at such a wonderful event. Please say thank you to all the people who supported this race."

There is also a very nice report in the Daily Echo.
