Adnams Southwold 10k

The full results are now available online via race timing systems.

Please note if you collected a new number and timing tag on the morning of the race they may not have your name against your time.

The bananas have been ordered, the medals are here, and we’re filling up the goodie bags. That means that it’s not long to go now before race day!

For those who have entered this year’s Adnams 10K run, Race Timing Systems will be sending out your number and entry pack next week. You can download the pre-race details as a pdf here, and there will be a copy available in your pack.

If you’re collecting sponsorship for your run, we’d be delighted if you would consider raising money for the Adnams Charity. Sponsorship forms can be downloaded here.

To keep you going on the day, just think of your finisher’s medal and goodie bag at the end – it’ll be worth it!

We’d love to see lots of support for our runners on the day, so why not come along to cheer everyone on. The race takes place on Sunday 18th November at 11am. The start is near The Harbour Inn, and the finish line is opposite The Red Lion on South Green. If you want to help out on the race day by becoming a marshall please contact Emma Hibbert on the email address below.

Many thanks for your entry, please read the notes below.

Registration: There will be no on-the-day registration; everything should be included in your pack. Please remember to bring your race number, pins and timing chip with you. Your number must be worn on the front of your shirt. Please do not change it or give it to anyone else or run without your number. Please fill in the form on the reverse of your number where you can list any medical conditions, current medication and the contact number of someone who should be informed in the event of an accident or illness.

Parking: Parking is tricky at the best of times in Southwold, please car-share where possible or get your loved ones/chauffer to drop you off at the Pavilion (postcode IP18 6TB). The Trustees at the Common have kindly agreed to allow us to park by the Pavilion again this year, but spaces are limited. Additional public car parks are located at Gardiner Road and the Harbour.

Changing: Facilities are available at the Pavilion, although there is no secure storage so any items left will be at your own risk. Unfortunately there are no shower facilities.

The Course: Starting on the road leading down from the Pavilion to the Harbour Inn, runners will complete two full loops along Blackshore, up Ferry Road, turn left into Gardiner and along Godyll Road and then down York Road. When you see the Harbour Inn for the third time, you will continue along Blackshore, up Ferry Road and then up Queen’s Road to the finish line just before the Red Lion pub.

Take Care: There is one section of the route along Blackshore, which has loose gravel, bumps and big holes. The Council have promised to fill in some of the bigger holes in advance, but please take extra care along this section. It may also make it difficult for entrants in wheelchairs. Finally, there is one section in York Road along the marshes which can flood – please note that you may get wet feet!

The Finish: We are using timing chips again this year and doubling up with manual recording. At the finish line and you will be directed along the chute to have your number recorded. From here, you can collect your goodie bag – including the all important bottle of Adnams beer (over 18s only), bottle of M&S water, bag of Percy Pigs and a participants medal. Co-op bananas and bags of Kettle Chips will also be available for runners.

Awards: Our plan is for Steve Cram and Allison Curbishly to present the prizes shortly after 12.15pm on South Green.

Time limits: Please note there is a time limit of 90 minutes, as roads must be opened by 12.30pm

Fitness: Please make sure you have done sufficient training. If you have a cold, swine flu or man flu or are in any way unfit or unwell on the day, then please do not run.

Results: We hope to post the results on our website www.adnams10k.co.uk as soon after the event as we can.

Thanks: To you for taking part, but also to our sponsors Marks and Spencer, Kettle Chips, Southwold Press, DB Signs and Xactive. To our advisor and referee Chris Harbord and to Steve Cram, Allison Curbishly and Abbie Thorrington for being our special guests. Finally to all the volunteers who gave up their time to make this a special event.

We’ve had a huge response to our 3rd Adnams Southwold 10k race and now all 700 places have been filled. To all those successful entrees – see at the start line on the 20th November!
