FREQUENT QUESTIONS
What time should I arrive?
Chips for timing the 7k race need to be collected on the day. Please allow plenty of time, we recommend to arrive by 10 am.
What time does the run start?
The 7k starts at 11 am and the 1 mile junior race just after.
When will my race number arrive?
Race numbers are being sent out in batches from mid March. Race numbers for all entries received from 1 May will not be sent out by post, but will have to be collected on the course.
How do I find the run in Oxfordshire?
There are travelling details on our website directions link
Do I have to pay the Blenheim Palace entry fee?
Your run number will allow you free entry into the grounds of Blenheim Palace. Make sure this is visible to the stewards on the gate to the grounds.
Where can I park?
There will be parking alongside the Pleasure Gardens which are signposted from the entrance.
What type of course is the race run over?
The 7k (4.2mile) course is off-road, using tarmac paths and trails within the Park, including a lakeside section. As part of the course is not on tarmac and includes a few stiles, it is not suitable for pushchairs or wheelchairs, so we regret we are unable to accommodate these.
What type of facilities will be available?
Toilets will be provided, along with a water station. There is a café for refreshments in the Pleasure Gardens before and after the run.
There is water available at the start/finish and there is one water station approximately half way round the 7k course.
There will be bag storage for an additional fee of £1.
Sports massages will also be available, free of charge, but please make a donation to charity.
What do I do with my chip after the race?
We will be collecting your chip at the finish line. Please make sure you return it after the race.
Will photographs be available?
