Special Event

Come and see Naomi and Jason at this fun event. Come and see them in the Berkshire Ramblers gazebo helping to promote walking in the Berkshire area.

The annual Mortimer 10km will take place on Sunday 30th September 2018 in conjunction with an 8km charity walk and a 3km junior race

The course is undulating through the country lanes of Mortimer and starts and finishes at the Mortimer Fairground, RG7 3SW which is approximately 5 miles south of M4 J11 and 3.5 miles west of the A33. There will be medals for all finishers.

Around the start/finish area you will find refreshments and stalls. The Fairground itself has its own play area so it is an ideal setting for a family day out

Events start at 10:15am

Booking onto a walk

Most walks do not require advance booking, and you can just turn up on the day. We encourage those comfortable with Meetup to indicate there that you plan to come though, so that others can see there will be plenty of people there – this really helps to encourage new members to come along.
For the few which still have limited numbers, this is handled via Meetup. Follow the link to a walk’s Meetup page (or press 🎟 Register / 🎟 Tickets / 🎟), and mark yourself as attending.
Social and other events may have their own booking system – please see the event description.

Pace Guide

Gentle: led at a gentle pace with regular short breaks for water or rest. Should be suitable for anyone capable of the distance. (Expect 2–2.5 mph.)
Medium: led at an intermediate pace with fewer breaks but still suitable for most walkers. (Expect 2.5–3 mph.)
Fast: led at a quick pace with minimal breaks. May be a challenge for those with less fitness. (Expect 3 mph+.)

Speeds quoted are only a rough guide, including time spent on short water/rest stops and negotiating stiles/gates/roads etc. but not that spent on longer lunch or pub stops.
