Course
The course for the Bracknell Samaritans 5k & 10k Runs is an accurately measured 5k loop starting and finishing in the grassed sports field. This is run twice to complete the 10k.
Most of the route is flat and open and heads out of the school into the beautiful Peacock Meadows. An incline at the 2/7 km point leads you through Jennetts Park and into a lightly wooded area known as Tarman’s Copse. The terrain is mainly grass and gravel paths, with a little bit of pavement road thrown in for variety. There is good viewing for spectators and the runners are in full view most of the way around. The course is generally wide open, with plenty of room to race for both “strength” & “speed” runners.
We regret the course is not suitable for wheelchair users and we cannot accommodate runners with pushchairs in these events.

SAMARITANS RUN FUNDRAISING
The annual Bracknell Samaritans Run is the biggest fundraiser for our local Samaritans branch, based in Bracknell. If every entrant for the 5k or 10k run could fundraise £25, we could raise enough money to keep our local Samaritans branch operating for over 6 months! Could you help raise an additional £25?
