THE 10K | Same Route | Different Dates
The 10k is back in 2024 and with the same beautiful route from our HQ.
This is not a PB course but a scenic beauty awaits on this well waymarked course with many cheery marshals en route to support you to the finish. The very reasonably priced event includes chip timing also and offers additional options for those wishing to add a memento of their day out and perfect for your club as a social Saturda out.
The 10k is part of the larger HUT FEST on the 31st August 2024 with a well supported Gala Day full or tournaments, stalls, music, beer and more.

If you need to ensure that you take on water in the event of extreme temperature.
