RR10 Event 6: Marwell Zoo 25th June 7pm start

Eastleigh Running Club cordially invite all clubs to Event 6 of the 2025 RR10 season

Start Time

The event will start at 7.00pm prompt

Venue

Marwell Zoo Thompson's Lane Colden Common Winchester SO21 1JH

Location

The Zoo is located off the B2177 Portsmouth Road between Fishers Pond and Upham sorry we don't have the What 3 Words location but it is the big place with animals in it

Parking

There is a large on site car park but we would encourage car sharing

There will be a £2.00 per car fee ( cash only and correct change if possible) and this money goes to Marwell not ERC

Due to the earlier start time there may still be people leaving the zoo

Course

It will be a course of approximately 4.7 miles similar to last year although this may change due to ongoing work in the car park and if weather conditions dictate otherwise

It will be run on tarmac, shale, gravel, woodland trails and grass and there will be tree roots etc and other hazards consistent with a cross country run, we will try to mark any major obstacles with flour not yellow paint

We will be doing our last course recce on Thursday and will inform everyone if there are any major changes and post a course map then

Facilities

There will be chemical toilets on site

Refreshments

Water will be available but please bring your own cups and cakes will be on offer

General notes

As we will be using the car park as part of the course please arrive as early as possible to allow us to set up.

Please ask your members not to warm down on the course as it is narrow in places
