The race course stretches from the Market Place, down the High Street, to the race finish outside St Peter and St Paul’s Church.
Ahead of the race itself, there are lots of activities taking place in the Market Place, starting with a special pancake breakfast, prepared by local chef, Ben Francis from the Cherry Tree Pub and Restaurant. With stalls, even more pancakes, music, a grand raffle, plus races for local nurseries and school children, there will be something for everyone.
All the runners join visitors in a Shriving Service which is held in the church immediately after the race. Some of the famous Olney Hymns, written by Rev. John Newton and the poet William Cowper, will be included in this special service.
