What you’re in for

A half marathon and a roughly five-mile race from Clipston recreation ground, south of Market Harborough. The half climbs straight out of the village onto bridleways, with short sections of quiet lanes, and comes back from Kelmarsh on a footpath, with about 237m of climbing. The 5-miler loops down to Kelmarsh and back on footpaths and bridleways. It is a village charity event: money raised goes to the recreation ground's facilities, and finishers get a medal and cake made by Clipston WI. The half has four water stations and the 5-miler one; bring a cup. Parking is free in the field opposite. There is no formal cut-off but expect to finish within 3.5 hours. Not suitable for canicross.
