>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Sunday 10th November 2024 - start at 0930
Totton Running Club and Hardley Runners are hosting the third CC6 race of the season at Ocknell Campsite.
Parking and race HQ will be at the campsite - Ocknell Campsite, Fritham, Lyndhurst SO43 7HH. What3words ///horseshoe.area.tender
Parking will be strictly at the campsite, please car share if possible. The car park will be open for runners from 0815.
We will be providing cakes at the finish, but please bring your own water/cups.
The course is about 5 miles long on a mixture of made up tracks and grass areas so please be careful at all times. Parts of the course will be muddy, particularly after the recent rain so trail shoes are recommended. Most of the course is an out and back sections so please keep left at all times and follow instructions of the marshals. At the turn point please keep cones to your right hand side – this area is particularly muddy and we have had to make a slight change here from last year to avoid trip hazards
The route is shown on separate file (will be sent to clubs via email) and will be well marshalled on the day.
Please note that the course start is about a 10/15 minutes walk from the car park/race HQ so please arrive in good time. The finish is located close to race HQ. There will be a minutes silence before the start of the race as it is Remberance Sunday.
There will be an area near Race HQ that is designated for kit tents but these must be placed on the hard standing with no use of pegs. We are not permitted to pitch tents on the grass areas.
We will be using parkrun barcodes to automate results processing, see details on the CC6 website. Please bring your parkrun barcode on the day and have it with you when running as scanning will be done at the race finish which is a short distance from race HQ.
Spectators are welcome including spectators’ dogs – but please ensure that any dog mess is collected.
Please note that we will need to lock up the race car park at about 1130 following the race. If you wish to remain in the forest you will need to move your car at the end of the race. Last year some runners left their cars and went for a longer run after the race meaning that our RD had to remain on site for a couple of hours waiting for them.
Kind regards
Rob Barlow

See you Sunday
