FOR A 12th year runners can enjoy a summer sprint round a borough beauty spot.
Barnes Fitness’ Dinton Summer Series returns with its popular 5k and 10k circuits, and a new junior 2k circuit.
The event which is becoming something of a seasonal tradition welcomes runners of all ages and abilities, and organisers say it promises to be bigger and better than ever.
and this year, for the first time, a 2km children’s course will take place 30 minutes before the start of the 5k and 10k events.
Ellie Gosling, of Barnes Fitness, said: “There’s something for everyone.
“Whether you’re a seasoned runner or just starting out, the Dinton Summer Series has something for you.
“Choose from the 5km option for a single loop around the course, or take on the 10km challenge by completing two laps.
“The pancake-flat course is perfect for setting personal bests, and with multiple races throughout the summer, you can track your progress and improvement.”
The course is scenic, traffic-free, and will be clearly marked and marshalled.
Free photos will capture the race day experience, and runners will be chip-timed, and able to access their results as soon as they cross the finish line.
To celebrate, they will then be able to enjoy refreshments from an ice cream van and a free beer from Phantom Brewery.
“The Dinton Summer Series is more than just a competition,” continued Ms Barnes.
“It’s a chance to connect with the local running community while taking in the beautiful scenery of Dinton Pastures Country Park.”
Sponsored by Spokes of Bagshot, Collard, and Brackenwood, the event will take place at Dinton Pastures, Hurst, on Thursdays, May 16, June 20, July 18, and August 15.
Registration costs £21 for the 5k race, £23 for the 10k run, and £7 for children on the 2k circuit.
