The Foodbank series is a set of three 5k(ish) races in Bramhall's Happy Valley.

The route takes you through the Valley itself and is on compacted mud paths. At about 1.5 miles the trail meets the main road an there's a mile-ish of tarmac taking you back towards the start. The couse then drops back into the valley and includes a water crossing (yes you'll get wet feet unless you've perfected the art of flying) and then back to the start/finish.

With over half the course being trails, this is never going to be a rapid course. It is however reasonably flat though so unless you get held up in a queue for any of the stiles (or water crossings) it's not goingto be that slow.

The course is a 'generous' 5k, coming in at about 3.4 miles on my watch.

All proceeds go to the local foodbank, and runners are encouraged to bring a food donation for the cause as well.
