The Boundary Run

This popular club social event is an approximately 31 mile circular route on predominantly off road terrain. Commencing at Nurstead Court the route is navigated by map and/or prior knowledge. Two groups of members managed to complete the entire route both clockwise and anti clockwise circuits and an equal number participated in shorter sections of the route in the form of a relay. Some members ran two sections either 'back to back' or at different times of day e.g. a morning run followed by a break and then an afternoon run. The route is broken down into four sections with 'average' length of section 8 mile.

It was possible to achieve good distance and time using a run/walk/run system if you are currently not up to 8 mile run distance. Advice will be given if required. It was also practical to do the entire route based on half marathon/ 15 mile run fitness. There is also a cycling alternative which can be all road for those unable to run.
