The routes for all distances are inside the beautiful Sutton Park, taking runners along the roads and windy paths in and around the park. Every kilometre will be accurately marked out and there will be plenty of helpers to keep you on track and cheer you on your way to the finish line. Each race involves laps around Sutton Park; there will be one lap for the 5k, two laps for the 10k and four laps for the Half Marathon.
