We're bringing back a golden oldie, formerly known as the O2O 10km - a 10km starting at Thames Valley Park and following the Thames and Kennett & Avon Canal into central Reading and back. We're passionate about this event as have great memories ourselves of taking part in it and even stepping foot on the podium! As is becoming the "norm" at most of our events now, we will also be hosting a Kids Fun Run prior to the 10km.   Barnes Fitness Event Standards - Inclusive atmosphere - Chip timing with results available instantly - Fun, friendly and knowledgeable marshals - Well sign posted course - Event specific metal medal to commemorate your achievement - Event Awards for podium and age group winners - On-site first aid - Free event photos available to download after the event
