This is one of the biggest and arguably best 10k events in the area, with over 1,000 runners and run on a Bank Holiday Monday in May. The village of Hatfield Broad Oak seems to close down for the day to hold the event, with a village fete, flower show and lots of stalls. The race is run on a figure of '8' circuit along country lanes, with an approx. 5k loop one side of the village, then back through the village centre for a loop on the other side. This is a nice idea, as it allows supporters to see their runners pass at the mid-point, as well as great encouragement for the runners with cheering crowds. If you are going to do one race as a supporter, this is the one to go to. The event also has the bonus of giving out brilliant tee-shirts to every finisher. These tops are usually bright luminous colours and can often be spotted at local ParkRuns and gyms in the area. Car parking is free in a field behind the church and ample, but given the size of the field the later you arrive the further from village you have to park. A highly recommended event.
