Goose Fair Gallop 10k
Kimberley & District Striders are proud to bring you once again our annual 10k event, The Goose Fair Gallop. We first held this event back in 1987, and it remains the highlight of our club calendar, with each year getting better!
We offer a pretty flat 10km course with amazing views, and our friendly, supportive event staff are there to make sure you have a fabulous day! The course has been planned to be as close to 10km as possible, but it is not exact, so your result will not show on ranking sites such as Run Britain.
The conditions underfoot vary from canal paths, gravel paths, unkept trails, to smooth pavement. There will be plenty of KADS marshals on course to keep you safe and on course.
