Timberhonger 10k History 2012 will be the 10th running of the Timberhonger 10k, so called as most of the route is on Timberhonger Lane. It has traditionally been part of Bromsgrove Carnival weekend with all profits donated to charity. In 2011 our nominated charities were the Friends of the Princess of Wales Community Hospital, Primrose Hospice, and the Midlands Air Ambulance. The Timberhonger 10k itself is organised by members of Bromsgrove and Redditch Athletic Club, all of whom are experienced in putting on successful road races. The Course The 10k course is accurately measured with a course certificate. It is a picturesque but challenging route with a number of testing hills and is suitable for first timers and experienced runners alike. The route starts at the Bromsgrove end of Timberhonger Lane, close to Sanders Park at 6.00pm, then snakes it's way down Timberhonger Lane for approximately 3k before doing two 2k loops round Berry Lane and Newhouse Lane, then returning back up Timberhonger Lane to Sanders Park. The race finishes with a run across the back field of Sanders Park to the finishing line in the front car park. All roads will be closed to traffic for the duration of the race. For a map click here.
