We are delighted to be working with North Lincolnshire Council  to use their excellent facilities at Quibell Park. Set in lovely woodlands this setting allows us to make the race day experience even more special for our runners.

This is less than 5 minutes drive from the M181 motorway, which makes the race extremely accessible for the whole of the motorway network.

Spectators

Quibell Park is a perfect venue for your family and friends to watch you start and finish the race. The finish is excellent as runners will finish by running clockwise around the athletics track for around 250m. The concourse around the track is big enough for literally hundreds of family members to cheer you in as you speed around the track. With the rousing sound of our commentator on the PA system, this will be a really rousing finish to a fast, flat and friendly Valentine 10k race.

Car Parking

There are hundreds of on-site parking places at Quibell Park, with the start line just being a few minutes walk away. We will also be using the vast car park at North Lindsey College, which is only around 5 minutes walk away.

Showers/Changing

There are showers and changing rooms at Quibell Park as well as a small number of lockers.

Food

We will be bringing in food vendors to make sure there are plenty of refreshments available for the runners and their spectators alike.
