10K ~ 2K ~ 200m
A challenging 10KM multi-terrain run set in the beautiful Chiltern Hills surrounding the village of Nettlebed, just 5 miles from Henley-On-Thames. The Nettlebed Stinger will challenge the novice runner with some ‘stinger’ hills but will reward you with stunning views as you run through woods and farmland.
Children from 4yrs – 15yrs of age (on race day) can register for the 2KM.
A ‘ little stinger” dash of approx. 200m will be held within the walled garden for under 6’s.
All competitors will be awarded a medal as they cross the finishing line!
Any child aged 6 and under MUST be accompanied by an adult for the duration of the run. If you have any concerns that your child may struggle with the distance, please arrange for an adult to run/walk with them regardless of age as marshals are not able to walk every child back to the finish. Any parent/guardian participating with their child does so at their own risk.
This is very much a fun run to introduce and encourage children to participate in running, so whilst we will be timing it, the results are not ‘official’. Small prizes will be awarded to the first three finishers (male and female). We regret, the route is not suitable for wheelchairs or pushchairs and dogs are not permitted.
The Nettlebed Stinger is a fundraising event organised by the Friends of Nettlebed School (FONS - Charity Number 1091177) on behalf of Nettlebed Community School.
The Race HQ is located at: Nettlebed Community School, High Street, Nettlebed, RG9 5DA and Parking will be available at different locations in the village.
Bike storage is available at the school and Nettlebed is served by the 33 and 33A (Henley to Abingdon Bus).
The nearest train station is Henley-on-Thames and taxis are available at the station.
