Exbury Pacing team delivers again!!

A big well done to the great Dave Hawkins Pacing Team who paced from 45 - 70 mins at 5 min intervals.

The pacing team all came in on time and helped and encouraged many runners to achieve their target times. And our two tail walkers/motivators Jan and Peter contributed to another great day.

Organised by Rob Kelly, its great to have them as part of the event, and it's always a fitting memory to Dave Hawkins.
Fantastic work 👍🏅🔥

Exbury Gardens 10k 2025 plants our fourth tree to support the gardens

As we did after each race since 2022 race we have planted a tree in the gardens on behalf of the 2025 race to support the canopy and biodiversity of the gardens.

With the help and advice of Head Gardener Tom Clarke, I went along to plant an Incense Cedar our fourth tree. It's a majestic evergreen tree native to western North America, valued for its aromatic wood and ecological contributions.

It will hopefully stand proudly in the parkland area of the gardens near to the finish for many years to come and represent everyone that entered the race in 2025. The whatthreewords location is ///cloak.waistcoat.rely

We plan to continue our support with a fifth tree on behalf of all the runners at our 2026 race.

Exbury 10k 2026 opens - a picturesque run and picnic date for your diary!

We are delighted to announce the return of the fifth Exbury Gardens 10k - one of the south's most picturesque 10k's on Sunday 28 June 2026. This year we are celebrating the 'magnificent magnolias' found at Exbury - you can see the t-shirt design below.

We have again been given special permission for the start and finish to be in the beautiful Exbury Gardens in one of their most popular months of the year.
Staged with the support of Hardley runners, your run, on this flat/undulating course, starts in the stunning gardens and takes you through glorious countryside to the scenic Lepe beach with panoramic views across the Solent to the Isle of Wight. You will then continue your journey back to the finish in Exbury Gardens. You can see a runners eye video of the scenic route

All runners will a bespoke medal but we have also agreed with Exbury that all runners get FREE entry into the stunning gardens after their run - after the 2025 event lots of runners enjoyed a summer picnic or coffee and cake to celebrate their achievement and made some unique running memories.

We hope to see you in June -and don't forget your picnic - for more details visit https://racesignup.co.uk/exbury-10k
