“A brilliant way to start the year”

Kick off your post-Xmas/New year recovery with the Inkpen Gibbet New Year Hangover!

The Hangover is a 10 mile(ish) wander around the beautiful countryside of Inkpen and Combe on the first Saturday in January. The route takes in Walbury Hill, Combe Gibbet, and the Test Way, with a good mix of road and off-road (footpaths and bridleways), and a couple of decent climbs. We also have a shorter route of 5 miles or so for anybody who doesn’t fancy the full distance.

The start/finish is at the Crown & Garter Pub in Inkpen (postcode RG17 9QR), with a drink or two in the pub afterwards.

Note that The Hangover is a casual get together, not a formal race event, so there is no entry fee, and the only prize is a pint for the first finisher. If you want to run, just turn up – all are welcome!
