THE COURSE, EA Licence Number: CCC6/1916 Please see the attached course map. 

Wimbledon Common's established tracks are firm underfoot, but expect the trails in the woods to be quite muddy. There could also be tree roots. Off-road shoes are suitable. Spiked shoes could be worn, but long spike pins are not recommended as some of the paths are compacted dirt with small stones.  The course is the same as the one used in the fixture last February except the Senior women run a shorter distance, two short laps instead of one short lap followed by a long lap which the Senior men run. 

Wimbledon Common is an open space shared with horse-riders, dog walkers and family groups. The marshals will alert you to any potential hazards, but please be aware and considerate to other common users.  For safety of all, runners are reminded that they must not wear any form of headphones during the race and risk disqualification if they do so.  

 GETTING THERE As with most London venues, it is best to use public transport if possible. The nearest train station is Wimbledon, about 1.2 miles from the start. The number 93 bus (which runs between Putney Bridge and North Cheam) can be picked up opposite the station and stops at the Wimbledon War Memorial, a short walk along The Causeway to the start. Please do not use the Windmill car park as it is very congested on a Saturday and you are unlikely to find a place. Parking is free along The Causeway, but again this road tends to get very full, so public transport is encouraged. F

ACILITIES There will be four temporary toilets situated near the start and there are also public toilets at the Windmill Tearooms.  

FIRST AID Two qualified medics will be in attendance, one vehicle-based at the start/finish area, and the other mobile and able to reach any casualties on the course. The nearest hospitals with A&E facilities are;St George's Hospital, Blackshaw Road, Tooting SW17 0QTKingston Hospital, Galsworthy Road, Kingston upon Thames KT2 7QB 

ADDITIONAL HELP Offers of extra marshals are always appreciated, so if your club can help please contact:secretary.belgraveharriers@gmail.com
