Road Running Woking 3 Miles Monthly Handicap akaThe Kingfield Canter now under new management and under the auspices of Woking Athletic Club 24th year of monthly races
Next race: 6th June 2012
What is it ? A race for road runners over 3 miles (well, actually 2.85 miles or 4.6 km), but with a couple of differences from most races:
Its a handicap race - the slowest runners start first. The first time you enter you will be consulted about your expected time for 3 miles/5 kilometres.
When we get it right - more often than not - you all come belting up the finishing straight in close order.
Its held every month - since June 1988 - with no plans to stop.
How do I enter ?There is no entry fee - and no entry form - just turn up and run.
Any age limit ? Our youngest entrant to date was 7 years old and our oldest entrant was 90.
When is it held ? On the first Wednesday of every month at 12:30 p.m. Allow, say, 15 minutes to sign in, receive a start time and study the map of the course, which is a flat, clockwise circuit.
Where is it held ? Start and finish are at the Woking Leisure Centre, Woking Park, Kingfield Road, Woking GU22 9BA. Tel:01483-771122.
Changing rooms and showers are available or you can come ready changed.
Where is that ?The Leisure Centre (click for map) is in Woking Park, on the Kingfield Road (A247) opposite Woking Football Club ground.
There is a large, free car park or you can walk from Woking Station (exit from platform 5, cross car park and then about half a mile down White Rose Lane to the back gate of the park). No. 34 bus (Guildford-Camberley) passes the park entrance.
