Runners at Thruxton

Thruxton 10k Run

Our Thruxton Run ceased to be a 'Community Service' project a couple of years ago when we canceled the 'Fun Run' element of the event because of the lack of support from the public.

Now we are in the position that it is not a very successful fund raiser either. The 2006 Thruxton 10km race proved to be a great deal of work for little return.

As we are not an Athletics body, it had been decided to delete this Service Project from our Club calendar.

We know that both Andover AC and Mencap have expressed interest in organising a 10km Road Race, but neither are interested in putting it on at Thruxton.

Special thanks to Dennis Carter and staff of the BARC at Thruxton for letting us use the site over the years, to all who have taken part as competitors and and to all those who have helped to run the event. The Thruxton 10k websiste is still available to view by clicking here.
