“This could become a cult classic…”The Gibbet Challenge is a scenic 10K race in the beautiful countryside around Inkpen, West Berkshire with the ethos of having “a bit of fun combined with a bit of a challenge”. The race starts and ends at Inkpen Memorial Playing Fields with a multi-terrain route which includes an energetic, though not overwhelming, climb up to Walbury Hill and Combe Gibbet to enjoy the spectacular views. Proceeds from the event go to the Inkpen sports clubs with the aim of encouraging sporting activities within the village. The race start time is 10:30am. The children’s race will begin immediately after the main and run over a course of approximately 1Km.
