Race 4 Instructions

Organisers: Hardley Runners, Totton Running Club

Happy new year!!!

We look forward to seeing you at Ocknell campsite on the 14th of January for the fourth CC6 race.

Our race will be within the Ocknell Inclosure Starting 1km walk away from the campsite heading up and round towards the A31, before going under the A31 and out towards the Canadian war memorial. Before reaching the Canadian war memorial the course drops down to highland water before turning round and heading back the same route but with a bit added on to finish closer to the campsite.

The course is 4.98 miles and is on the some wide and some narrow gravel tracks. The track does get soft in places and can be underwater in places depending on the weather, we hope you enjoy the race.

  • We will meet at the tent area at 09:15 before making our way as a group toward the start, this is to ensure no one gets lost heading to the start.
  • Carparking will be in Ocknell Campsite, Forest Road, Fritham, Hampshire, SO43 7HH – What3words ///horseshoe.area.tender and we have been given permission to park on the concrete areas.
