THE SHUTTLEWORTH 5 TRAIL RACE
Sunday 15th May 2011 @ 10.30am
Fancy having a go at running off-road? Perhaps you already love the feeling of being close to nature that comes with trail running and want to get back to it after pounding the pavements all winter?
The new Shuttleworth 5 is guaranteed to put a smile on the face of beginners and seasoned trail runners alike. On Sunday May 15 at 10.30am the Shuttleworth 5 offers a rare opportunity to run from the beautiful Old Mansion at Shuttleworth College, Old Warden, Biggleswade. The course passes through some of the most unspoilt countryside in the country and really offers the chance to get away from the rat race.
Leaving the college grounds you will pass through the tiny village of Old Warden into mature woodland and open fields before the majestic sight of the Old Mansion beckons you back to the finish. The course is undulating and follows public footpaths and ancient rights of way.
Included in the entry fee (£16 for affiliated runners, £17 for unaffiliated) is free car parking, finishers medal, changing, showers and reduced entry to the Shuttleworth Collection next door to the College, an ideal destination for a family day out. The Tavern on the college site offers food and drink and will be open on the day of the race.
Dirt Running will be raising money for The Shuttleworth Trust
