Police Sport UK Athletics Section - 10 Mile Road Race Championships 2014

Hampshire Constabulary and the HC Athletic Section are delighted to announce that we will be hosting this year’s PSUK 10 Mile Road Running Championships in our county. We are delighted that our Chief Constable, Olivia Pinkney will be attending the evening presentation.

The race will take place in Lee-On-Solent where you will have a sea view running along the coastal path.

Race and venue

The race will be a flat 2 lap course starting and finishing at the same location as registration.

There will be a short section, approximately 400 metres which has no pavement and runners will be asked to be vigilant when running on the road. A risk assessment has been conducted and available should anyone wish to view it.

Marshalls will be placed along the course. Should anyone fall into difficulty please speak to the nearest marshals who can radio for assistance if required.

The race location, start/finish will be at Salterns Park, PO14 3QS.

There will be water provided at the start and finish area and along the course in accordance with UKA Rules.

There are no shower facilities at the race venue so please come suitably ready to race. We will be providing a gazebo facility for changing however these may not be very private.

We will provide a gazebo for leaving warm up clothing etc. Please do not leave any valuables at the race venue as we cannot secure this area. We will of course be keeping an eye on it but make no guarantees. Thus we take no responsibility for loss of personal items. I suggest your team captain brings bin bags to place warm up clothing in.
