Race Benefits:

This is a unique race, like no other, with unexpected challenges:

• Active Airfield

You are running on an active airfield. There is limited time to run the airfield before it opens again to aircraft traffic.

• Hard surface track

The hard runway is 1,199m long. You will be running one lap to complete your 5k race, or two laps to complete your 10k challenge.

• Unexpected gradients and the wind factor

Duxford Dash is a flat course, but it does have a deceptive gradient. Use the challenge to help you run a fast race. You are open to the elements!
