To find Clark Run races, Search Races by Race Name, and enter Clark Run in the other field. You will then get a list of all the races of the race series.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE?

Elite runners will do it in 14-18 minutes, advanced runners will take around 18-25 minutes, intermediate runners around 25-30 minutes, and joggers around 30 to 40 minutes. Walkers and jog-walkers will take around 40 to 70 minutes depending on pace. Walking is absolutely fine and many people do it, or alternate between walking and jogging.The important thing is that you keep mobile and go at your own pace.

WHERE DOES THE RACE START?

The race starts roughly opposite to the Museum at the near end. Look out for people hanging around next to the track before 8 am. 

WHERE DO RUNNERS MEET BEFORE AND AFTERWARDS?

Often we will arrange to meet at the nearby Coffee/Cycle shop nearby before the race starts, watch out for the details in the Event. Runners nearly always go afterwards to the coffee shop to socialize afterwards
