About

A group of Claygate residents and local runners have come together to organise a virtual running race this year in the absence of any physical running race in Claygate due to COVID-19. The aim of the race is to raise much needed funds for the "Garden Project" on Claygate recreation ground and other equipment to complete the Claygate Pavilion. 100% of profits from the race will go to the Claygate Recreation Ground Trust charity who are overseeing this project. The race is 5 miles long and takes place through the beautiful countryside that surrounds Claygate- through woodlands, fields and roads. The course is mainly off-road and is undulating towards the end. The race takes place between Sat 24th - Sun 1st August and starts/finishes on Claygate Recreation Ground, Church Road, Claygate, KT10 0JP. You can run the race at anytime you wish throughout this period. To register, submit a donation (we suggest £5 for adults and £3 for children). Please gift aid your donation where possible. Once you have done this, go to https://data.opentrack.run/en-gb/x/2021/GBR/r5ftr21/ to register yourself on the race. Results: To register your result. Load you result onto Open Track.
