Registration will be inside the Wilfrid Noyce Centre, adjacent to the Crown Court Car Park, & will open at 9.00am. All runners must pick up their race package from the Wilfrid Noyce Centre. Registration will be split into alphabetical order by surname & not race distance.

All Race Packs will include a race number & safety pins. Numbers need to be placed on the front of your race t-shirt/top so this is visible for the marshals.

Once you have collected your Race Pack, please head down to the start line located in the Phillips Memorial Park / Bandstand & make your way to the designated waiting area to be called.

All runners will set off from the Godalming Bandstand in the Phillips Memorial Park, heading out into Borough Road with the fun runners doing a loop of "Charterhouse Green" before finishing back at the start point.

The 5k & 10k routes head out along Borough Road to pick up the scenic River Wey riverside path before climbing into the grounds of Charterhouse School.

All the 5k & 10k runners will experience beautiful views of Charterhouse School before going their separate ways. Whilst the 5k route heads back to the bandstand, the 10k route continues through the undulating woods surrounding the School & then heads back in to Godalming before starting the final climb up Westbrook Road & then looping back down to finish at the Bandstand.

This is a running event, so no walkers. Roads will be reopened at 1.00pm. If you are still on the course at this point you are responsible for finding your own way back to the start/finish line.

Marshals will be position all over the course to help assist & support you with any problems or questions. If you have any issues on the day then please contact your nearest marshal (they will be wearing a hi-vis jacket so should be easy to spot).

The 5k course is all run on roads. Road trainers are preferred for this race.

The 10k course includes challenging off-road sections including short sections of steep hill climbs on off-road paths in & around Charterhouse. Please ensure your running shoes are suitable for on & off road terrain.

FREE Parking is available all day in Crown Court Car Park (with overflow parking at the Waverley Borough Council Car Park).

If using SAT NAV, please use the postcode GU7 1HR which will bring you to the Waverley Borough Council Car Park. Borough Road will be closed from 10am & during the event so please ensure you use the car parks available.

The Response Group will be providing mobile first aid cover throughout the event & will be based at the start/finish line. If you have any issues during the race, please contact your nearest marshal.

This year, in order to reduce plastic waste, the Godalming Run is happy to annouce that it will be entirely cupless. Please make sure you bring drinks along with you.

Water will be available to all runners at the finish of each event - Please remember to bring a water bottle or soft cup to fill up.

There are no water stops on the Family Fun Run or the 5k Race routes.

For the 10k runners only there will be a water stop at the 5k mark. This is immediately as you exit the woods around Charterhouse, before you emerge on to Racquets Court Hill. Google maps link.

The water stop is also cupless, so you will need to take a water bottle or soft cup to fill up.

Medals will only be awarded to runners who cross the finish line & are wearing a race number. No race number, no medal.

No dogs are permitted to run in any of the races.

Baby buggies are not permitted on any of the races.

The routes involve narrow paths, steep hills, woodland trails (with many tree roots) and a set of steps (on the 10k course).

The wearing of headphones, or similar devices, (other than those medically prescribed), is not permitted in any of the races.

This is a health and safety requirement in order for runners to be able to hear marshals and other runners. The route has several very narrow paths where you may have to overtake or be overtaken, it is important to be able to hear runners who are behind you as you may need to move out of their way. There is also a crossing on a public road - there are marshals at this point and it is important that you can hear their instructions.
