Fun Runners will be marshalled further back and brought forward to the Start Line after the 10 Mile Race has started. The 10 Mile Race will start promptly at 11:00 am. The Fun Run will be started as soon as the last 10 Mile runners have cleared the first part of the route this will be 10 to 15 minutes later.

Runners must complete the 10 Mile course by 1:30 pm when the Marshals and Police will be leaving their positions. If you are unable to complete the course, or are feeling unwell, tell a Marshal who will arrange for First Aid and/or the back-up mini bus service to take you back to the Recreation Ground. The Rotary Club of Chelmsford Mildmay wish the Fun Runners a most enjoyable day, and hope that the more serious Road Runners achieve a personal best. 10 MILE ROAD RACE The Edmund Carr Great Baddow 10 Mile Charity Race - Course Profile Height in metres Noakes Ave Beehive Lane Galleywood Great Baddow Tall Mast West Hanningfield Road (close to main A12) Great Baddow Distance in Miles 10 No, there really are no mountains in Essex! The exagerated scale does make Galleywood, at 4.25 miles, look like an ancient hilltop fortified town, but it certainly is not! The lift up from the low "dip" just past Mile 2 (32m minimum), up to Galleywood (83m maximum), is a long steady climb. The first water station is just past the Mile 3 mark. The second water station and the sponge station are a short distance beyond the Mile 5 mark. The third water station is just beyond the Mile 8 mark and there is a final water station adjacent to the Finish. The course is definitely more "undulating" than flat, and be warned, the uphill grind around Mile 8 is testing, and do save a little energy for the final lift to the Finish. From Great Baddow High Street returning to the Recreation Ground, Baddow Road climbs what is known locally as "Tabor's Hill", and it really does feel like one! If, for reasons beyond the race organiser s control, there is a last minute cancellation of the event, all race fees will be FORFEITED and the proceeds donated to the races nominated charities.

7 EDMUND CARR GREAT BADDOW CHARITY RACES Sunday, 17 th May 2015 Great Baddow Recreation Ground, Chelmsford The Charities being supported, with your help, this year are: St John Ambulance (UK Registered Charity No /1) The Great Baddow Races, and similar sporting and public events, could not be run each year without the help and support of St John Ambulance. As the nation s leading first aid charity, St John Ambulance believes that nobody should die because they needed first aid and didn t get it. Yet every year, up to 140,000 people die in situations where first aid could have given them a chance to live. St John Ambulance teaches people first aid so that they can be the difference. Through First aid training St John Ambulance equip thousands of people with the skills to save a life; they provide advanced first aiders at public events; they are able to support the emergency services with Emergency response; and provide a wide range of opportunities with their Volunteer programmes. We are, this year, supporting the local branch The Rotary Club of Chelmsford Mildmay Charity Trust Fund (UK Registered Charity No ) This charity fund is administered by the Rotary Club of Chelmsford Mildmay and will be used to help and support various projects in the local community throughout the coming year. Also receiving donations to help support them will be those charitable organisations that so willingly give us their help and assistance each year so that we can hold this event safely. They include the League of Friends of Hargrave House (UK Registered Charity No ) - the Great Baddow charity which aims to advance the education of youngsters (and young adults) with severe learning difficulties, by the provision of facilities for such purposes that are not normally provided by the Local Authority; local Scout Groups and other youth organisations; the PTA s of local schools; and several other similar groups. Please be generous in your support. We would like to raise a record amount this year to help the work of our chosen charities, and other groups. With your help we will. You may, if you wish to, raise money for your own favourite Charity as well, but if you do please let us know what the Charity is, and how much you raise for them. Thank you very much for your help.

10 The Edmund Carr Great Baddow Charity Fun Run Course Map The Race Starts from the same gantry as the 10 Mile Run. It commences after the 10 Mile runners have completed their initial lap of the field and are clear of the Recreation Ground. Fun Runners are encouraged to watch the 10 Mile Start at 11.00am and afterwards move over to their Start assembly area. The Fun Run Start will not be before 11.10am, and normally commences between 11.10am and 11.15am. Please follow the assembly instructions from Race Marshals in the Start area. Only runners aged 12 or over are permitted immediately next to the Start line tape. Runners aged 8 to 11 years will assemble in the second section back behind the Start line tape. Runners aged 7 or less MUST be accompanied by an adult, and should assemble in the third section back behind the Start line tape. The Race distance is a little short of 2 Miles. Runners complete an initial circuit of the Recreation Ground and then leave for Baddow Road via the road that normally allows vehicles to access the Ground (it is closed to all except Emergency vehicles on Race Day). Participants are asked to take particular care on that road as it has speed humps which may not be visible to runners when bunched together. Warning signs by the side of the road show the position of the speed humps. After completing the road section, runners return to the Recreation Ground using that same access road, and use the same Finish as the 10 Mile runners. DO PLEASE FOLLOW THE MARSHALS INSTRUCTIONS AT THE FINISH, AND MOVE DIRECTLY TO THE FUNNELS WHERE MEDALS WILL BE AWARDED.
