Event Overview
Sunday 25th August 2024 - 9:45am
The start, finish and car parking are in Wales, just as they were last year.
However, we have not been granted permission to close the motorway this year so the route will run on the access-ways to the side of the main carriageway.
The event will be fully permitted and insured as usual.
Start - The Severn Bridge 10k event will be based at the Chepstow end of the bridge - it's about a 1 mile walk from the event centre.
The 2024 course (10k only this year) has been measured and certified as accurate by an accredited AUKCM course measurer.
We will have a UKA permit
There is easy access to the race event base and car park from junction 2 of the M48. There is ample free car parking within 10 mins walk of the start.
In order to cut down on waste and to reduce the event's environmental impact both medals and t-shirts are add-on purchases this year.

Prizes
Trophies and prizes for the 10k in 2024 will be based on 'chip to chip times'. This is to ensure all participants are able to distance appropriately at the start. Be aware that the first past the finish line may not be the winner. Results are based on race time not race position. Awards go to:
Men and Ladies overall (cash prizes): 1st (£50), 2nd (£30), 3rd (£20). 1st placed man and lady receive trophy. 2nd and 3rd receive medal award. There will be prizes in these age categories: V40, V50, V60, V70 for both men and ladies. Team prizes - by position - 3 to count.
Please note that this year you will NOT be running on the motorway.
