← Yateley Road Race Series (Race 3)

This was the 3rd and final race of the summer 10k series. I did 2 of the 3 races last year and this was my first one this year. Unfortunately the organisers couldn't do anything about the wet and windy weather but the atmosphere was still just as good as ever. Registration was easy; plenty of car parking. The start/finish is on the school field which is well marked out with an announcer over loud speaker. The course is all on road with a couple of inclines making it just right. There were 778 finishers showing it to be a very popular event. Not an automatic PB course but that said I managed one! There are a few road closures and where roads are open they are well marshalled and there is some good local support. Two water stations keep you well hydrated as well as a sponge station. The medals are excellent - if you complete all 3 races they link together into a lovely design. Next year I will sign up for my 3rd year at this event but you'll need to sign up early as it sells out really quickly.
