London Marathon Training Runs 2012 - Open to ALL runners
At the end of January, February and March we hold our renowned London Marathon training runs, which are open to ALL runners whether you are a member of an affiliated running Club or not.
The course is mainly along quiet country roads through the stunning Ashridge Forest with a small section on the towpath of the Grand Union canal. The routes are fully marshaled with water stops and our much-loved jelly baby stop! At the end there will be a steaming cup of tea or coffee and a mammoth cake waiting for you!
Dates for the 2012 GVH London Marathon Training Runs (full details also in Runners World magazine):
Once again we will be operating a slightly staggered start to try and alleviate the problem of congestion getting onto the canal towpath, so please line up at the start according to your estimated finish time and do take your own timings as this is a training run and not an officially timed race.
Cost is £5. Please download this and bring it with you on the day. There is NO pre-registration.
Please arrive in good time to register and get ready to run. You may leave bags in the Clubhouse, it will be supervised but anything left is at your own risk. These runs are always popular and it gets busy in the clubhouse in the 30 minutes leading up to the start!
Parking
There is not a huge amount of parking around the Clubhouse and St John's Church have asked us not to park on their side of Heath Lane. To ease the pressure on parking and keep our neighbours happy please could you try and park at Hemel Hempstead Station car park which is a five minute walk from the Clubhouse. It costs £4.00 to park there on a Sunday, please have the correct change for the machines.
