It’s 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.
It’s 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.
