To ensure the safest environment for all participants we have arranged the following road closures across the morning & early afternoon;
Stretton Sugwas roundabout (A480 and A4103) to the Roman Road junction with Tillington Road (opposite Ned Potter Ltd) from 9.30am to 2.00pm.
Tillington Road between the Roman Road (A4103) and the crossroads near Burghill Valley Valley Golf Club between 10am and 11am.
Crowmoor Lane (near Burghill Valley Golf Club) – all directions 10.00am to 2.00pm.
Diversions will be in place, with marshals on hand to answer any queries and allow access to and from homes and businesses when deemed safe to do so. Please be aware that the 5K event, featuring 300 runners of all ages, will take place on the Roman Road between the Stretton Sugwas roundabout and the Tillington turning. This means there will be a strict road closure in place with no access between 10.20am and 11.20am.
Every year, runners tell us how much they appreciate the support from spectators along the route, and we know they would appreciate your backing again this year. We are sorry for any inconvenience the road closures may cause, and would like to thank the local community for their support and understanding.
If you have any queries, please contact Race Director: Matt Ashcroft on 01432 851 000Â

Hereford Contract Canning
Hereford Contract Canning (HCC) currently employs over 130 staff at their site in Hereford. The business is a rapidly growing contract canner which has undergone significant investment over the last three years. This investment has given HCC a 400% increase in capacity, and we now operate two canning lines. The initial canning line has seen significant investment to double its output and we have also installed a second new larger canning line. Since 2019 the business has grown by 250% and staff have increased from 54 in 2019 to over 130 in 2022. The future plans for the business include environmental sustainability, supporting local charities, continued investment, recruitment opportunities and growth of the business. HCC believe that sustainability is key to the future and recycle over 95% of all waste on site. We have a five year plan to offset as much Co2 as we can, we started on the journey in 2022 with a large tree planting campaign. HCC is also proud to sponsor local charities such as St Michaels Hospice and the Boulder barn as well as supporting local colleges and NMITE.
