Adnams Charity Sponsorship Form 2011

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.

All proceeds will be divided between the Adnams Charity and Suffolk Sports Aid Destination Gold project.

The reason we started this whole 10k malarkey was to raise funds for the Prince’s Trust. This year we have decide to carry on the tradition and all proceeds will be split between the Adnams Charity and Suffolk SportsAid Destination Gold Project.
The Adnams Charity was founded in 1990 to celebrate Adnams centenary as a public company. It is funded by a percentage of Adnams annual profits, mandated dividends, donations and legacies. The Adnams Charity awards grants to groups and organisations within 25 miles of Southwold. Grants normally range from £100 to £2,500 and the Trustees expect to see the results of their donations within twelve months.

Destination Gold is a new programme aimed at inspiring businesses to use of the excitement of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, to raise money to support Suffolk’s most talented athletes.

The Suffolk SportsAid Foundation, which is behind this major new initiative, has asked local companies to effectively ‘adopt’ an athlete, to help them in their ultimate goal of representing Team GB, and Suffolk, at the most memorable sporting event in the world – the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Adnams has adopted triathlete Abbie Thorrington and Wheelchair Racer Brian Alldis. Read their profiles here

If you decide to use the Adnams 10k for your own fundraising, we’d love you to support one of our official charities.

Once again we would like to thank all those that took part and especially those that gave up their time to make this day such a success. Feedback has been overwhelming and we are doing our best to reply to all your questions as quickly as possible.

Thank you from all at Adnams
