The new 10km route is also relatively flat, but slightly more hilly than the half marathon, with 130m total elevation gain (13m/km). With a total elevation gain of 140m (28m/km) the 5km course offers a great challenge for novices and experienced runners alike, just don’t expect to set a 5km PB.

Parking available at HQ
Due to only some of the course being on closed roads, there is parking available at Race HQ, Ludlow Rugby Club, Linney, SY8 1EE . We ask that all athletes arrive for all race distances from the Westerly direction, using Dinham Bridge and the Linney, thereby avoiding the Easterly Corve Street approach (this will be closed form 0730). The Dinham Bridge access will be then closed at 0845, so all 10k and 5k athletes will need to arrive in good time. There are also an additional three main car parks in the centre of Ludlow – at Upper Galdeford (Budgens Supermarket), Lower Galdeford (Smithfield), and Castle Street*. They operate on a pay-and-display basis. *Please be aware that entry and exit to Castle Street Car Park will affected by race road closures that start at 1800. Please see Getting Here page for additional parking info and map of preferred arrival route..
