Race Route

The course is slightly undulating, mostly on the Flitch Way (a firm surface suitable for road-running shoes) and on grass paths. There are water stations at the 2.5k and 7.5k mark.

The Takeley 10k has a 90% off-road route. Approximately 1km of the route is on road and this leads to the finish at the Silver Jubilee Hall.

“It was a lovely route and was so nice to be away from the roads.”

“This was our first Takeley 10k and we must say Thank you we really enjoyed it.  Well done with the organisation with the race and organising all the fun things for the kiddies, that was great! And the weather was good too, so lucky it didn't rain.   It was a lovely route and it was so nice to be away from the roads. Thank you to all your marshals too they were very supportive. We will most definitely be back next year and will recommend it to other members of our running club.”
