ONLINE ENTRY:

10 mile race £30.00  (3 drinks, 2 shots)

All participants drinks are included in the entry fee and all finishers receive one of our amazing medals.

DRINK OPTIONS: Pint or half of either lager or bitter. Red or White wine. Soft drinks. Please note you will have the same drink each time.

PARKING: Parking spaces within Wivenhoe are limited so we recommend public transport for ease and safety. If parking in the area please park legally and with consideration of local residents. The Black Buoy is a short walk from the train station, or local bus services from Colchester.

WATER STATIONS: Water will be available at both the start and turnaround point.  We frown upon those who use this.

BAGGAGE AREA: We will have a small manned luggage area. Long Brew cannot accept responsibility for any valuables left in the baggage area.

THE ROUTE: You will complete either one or two laps of the course. Each lap is approximately 5 miles. Starting at The Black Buoy public house, you head out along the front of Wivenhoe Quay and join the beautiful Wivenhoe Trail in the direction of the City of Colchester. Behold the majesty of the university campus as you arrive at the end of the trail and reach the turnaround point, where are notorious, ahem, drinks station is located. 

Once suitably refreshed you return along the route to The Black buoy where your next drink will await you. Competitors in the 5 mile race will complete their time once their drink is finished to the Race Director's satisfaction. 10 mile runners must finish their drink before repeating the lap once more. Again, the clock is only stopped once their final drink is finished on their return.

The route is a mixture of paths and trail with no need for trail shoes.

Long Brew was formed to support local businesses and charities. Your entry will make that happen.
