Entries now open for the Burnham Beeches Half Marathon and 10K
We are pleased to announce that entries are now open for the Burnham Beeches Half Marathon and 10k, which will be held on the 9th of August 2020.
The organisers are continuing with their aim of making the event as environmentally friendly as possible. One of the changes will be to offer the event t shirt as an optional extra and only give it to finishers that want it.The shirt will be a good quality technical shirt with, once again, the first 1,000 entrants names on the back but you may have lots of running shirts that never get worn and choose not to add to the pile, doing your bit to save the planet. Those that do not request it will have a cheaper entry price.
The entry system has been changed to offer this facility.
The Half Marathon early bird price is £26 (£24 EA members) and the 10k is £20 (£18 EA members).??
Everyone will get a fantastic medal and, as always, the organisers are working hard to make it a bit special!
The first 500 entrants will get a VIP parking pass to park close to the race village.
2020 marks the 40th anniversary of the first running of the event in 1980. This will be celebrated with a mixture of the traditional and something a bit different. For the first time, the course will be reversed and run clockwise rather than anticlockwise.
Burnham Joggers is a non-profit running club so most of the surplus money raised through their events goes to charity. The featured charities this year are Thames Valley Air Ambulance and The Dash Charity. It is also possible to make a personal donation during your race entry registration or on race day
As in previous years, places go quickly so please don't miss out.
And finally - look out for information coming soon about the Beaconsfield 5 on Easter Monday 13 April 2020.
The Burnham Beeches Half & 10k is organised by Burnham Joggers. They are a friendly local club for runners of all abilities. If you're not a member of a club already why not give them a try?
They meet on Tuesday and Thursday evenings at 7pm for informal runs from Huntswood Golf Club in Burnham.
