UK Run Events, the organisers of the Shrewsbury Half Marathon powered by UKRunChat and Breathe Unity, have announced the launch of The Running Festival at Goodwood, an exciting new event for runners at the historic Goodwood Motor Circuit in Sussex.
The Running Festival at Goodwood was launched at The National Running Show on 20th January, and runners were quick to snap up entries to secure their place on the start line of an event that is believed to become one of the most iconic running events in the sporting calendar.
The event will take place on Sunday 14th October 2018 and is set to welcome 5,000 runners to what will be the first ever running festival at Goodwood. An event aimed at younger runners will also be announced shortly, making this a celebratory day of running for runners of all ages and abilities.
Goodwood is a spectacular estate in the heart of West Sussex and home to the world-famous Festival of Speed, Goodwood Revival and Qatar Goodwood Festival. Nestled at the foot of the South Downs just outside Chichester, it is an extremely picturesque location for this thrilling new event on the UK running scene.
A total of 3,000 places are available for the 10K which covers two and a half laps, and 2,000 places are available for the Half Marathon which will see runners complete five and a half laps. The 10K starts at 10am and the Half Marathon starts at 12 noon, allowing individuals and families to enjoy a full day of fun at this iconic venue.
Discounted early bird fees are up for grabs until the end of February, and anyone wishing to enter this professional and friendly event in the autumn is encouraged to secure their place now. Tickets for events at Goodwood traditionally sell out quickly and The Running Festival at Goodwood is expected to be eagerly embraced by the running community.
Race Director Joe Williams commented, “We are delighted to launch The Running Festival at Goodwood. It has been a long time in the planning and we are thrilled to be able to host our first running festival at such a beautiful and memorable venue. The facilities at Goodwood are second-to-none and we hope that many runners will take the opportunity to race at one of the UK’s best-known estates. With the option of a 10K and a Half Marathon, we are looking forward to welcoming runners of all abilities to the event in October. Discounted early bird entries are available so now is the perfect time to sign up and have a fantastic new event to look forward to.”
The Running Festival at Goodwood is open for entries. Early bird entries cost £18 (affiliated) / £20 (non-affiliated) for the 10K, and £26 (affiliated) / £28 (non-affiliated) for the Half Marathon. Prices will rise by £2 respectively on 1st March.
All finishers receive a unique medal, technical souvenir t-shirt, free pre and post race massage, free event photography (worth £19.99), a goody bag, plus a fantastic grandstand-themed finish!
