Hamwic, Stubbington, and Netley are hosting the 5th race of the CC6 Season at Itchen Valley Country Park, Allington Lane, West End, Southampton, SO30 3HQ. Parking will be at the site – it is a ticketed barrier on entry, and you will need to pay for parking at a machine before exiting. Please car share as much as possible. PLEASE DO NOT PARK ON THE VERGES OR ON ALLINGTON LANE.

We would like to take the opportunity to request donations for the Southampton food bank, of non-perishable items. There is a link here to provide more information on this:

The collection point will be in the car park near the start/finish area, marked with the red Hamwic Harriers flag.

Cakes and water will be provided at the finish, please bring your own cups / water bottles, and flags and tents will be pitched here.

The course is approximately 7.6km long and a mixture of forest / woodland paths and grass, some sections of which will be muddy and slippery, as well as roots to be aware of… trail shoes are advised. The start and finish is at point A on the map, and the route comprises one small loop of section ‘B’, and 2 large loops of section ‘C’. Please listen to marshal instructions as there will be occasional areas that are narrow, or crossing short but slippery bridges.

The route is shown below, and an interactive version can be found here:

We will be using parkrun barcodes to automate results processing, see details on the CC6 website. Please bring your parkrun barcode on the day.

Spectators are welcome including spectators’ dogs - please note dogs are not allowed on the bridal paths, and please observe instructions provided on signage at the park.

We look forward to welcoming you on the day!
