Timberhonger 10k
History
2014 will be the 12th running of the Timberhonger 10k, so called as most of the route is on Timberhonger Lane. It has traditionally been part of Bromsgrove Carnival weekend with all profits donated to charity.
This year we will be raising money for Friends of the Princess of Wales Community Hospital, Primrose Hospice and Bromsgrove homeless charity the Basement Project.
The Timberhonger 10k is organised by Bromsgrove and Redditch Athletic Club under UK Athletics rules.
The Course
| The 10k course is accurately measured with a course certificate. It is a picturesque but challenging route with a number of testing hills and is suitable for first timers and experienced runners alike. The route starts at the Bromsgrove end of Timberhonger Lane, close to Sanders Park at 6.00pm, then snakes it’s way down Timberhonger Lane for approximately 3k before doing two 2k loops round Berry Lane and Newhouse Lane, then returning back up Timberhonger Lane to Sanders Park. The race finishes with a run across the back field of Sanders Park to the finishing line near the front car park. All roads will be closed to traffic for the duration of the race.
