This event will take place on Friday evening, starting at 5:30pm. This is an ideal venue to chase a fast time as the course is traffic-free, pancake flat and on smooth tarmac. The race is run under a full UK Athletics Licence, this means each course has been officially measured and has a certificate of course accuracy. The race will also be chip timed and results published on Power of 10.
