How to get to Frieth

From Marlow / M40 / Lane End directions: As you come into the village drive up past Race HQ (school) and up to a clearly marked right turn. From Henley/Hambleden/Skirmett directions, you'll come into Frieth around a sharp right-hand bend take the first left and the car park is straight in front of you; it will be clearly identifiable. It is in a field and there is plenty of room and we will have a few volunteers present; please do however park considerably. The address is Frieth, Henley-on-Thames, Oxon RG9 6PJ. Please note that there is no on-road parking in the village, as this affects the running route

​

The car park will open at 8.30am. The end of the race passes the car park entrance so there will be no access to/from the car park between 9.15am and 10.45am. Bicycles can be left immediately inside the wooden fence around the front of Race HQ. Race HQ is less than a five-minute walk from the car park.

"Multiple group options that will follow the route of "The Frankenstein".  Leaving Higginson Park between 08:30 and 09:00 (an earlier option, is available for anyone who would prefer to walk the course), finishing back at the club for circa 10:00.

Marlow Striders hosting the Summer 5km series on Tuesday, 8th July 2025 -

Please select relevant options below to confirm -

1. your attendance as a volunteer and
2. what food contributions you're able to bring (2 or more would be ideal)

A few points to note about the food -

• We have a reputation to uphold of providing the best post-run buffet.
• Please label any gluten free, vegetarian, vegan foods - there will be separate tables for these.
• Please bring sandwiches & cakes into pre cut-up "portion sizes" - to make it easy to distribute the food (we have had whole cakes arriving in the past).
• *1 loaf = either 1 loaf of bread (sliced into quarters) or 6 x bagels (sliced into halves) or 12 x baps (sliced into halves)
• Please do not bring sandwiches with much salad in or items with chocolate coating, as they are messy if the weather is hot.
• Multi-pack crisps are better than large packets.
• Any tins, boxes, plates, and anything people want back - please put a label on so we can return it to you afterwards.

Race location: Hurley Meadow, accessed from Hurley Village, SL6 5NB (there will be signs on arrival)

Race Date & time: Tuesday, 8th July - run start time 7.30pm

Course: A map of the course is available here.

Tasks Requiring Assistance:

1. Course Set Up: this will be done by a few individuals during the afternoon. However if anyone would like to come down and assist, feel free to turn up at the Meadow from about 4.00pm onwards. 
2. Food contributions: See above
3. Marshalling: We need marshals stationed at strategic points along the course. Antony Bourne will be in charge of marshalling. Please arrive between 18:00 and 18:30 to allow time to be allocated your marshalling point and to get into position. Please make sure your stay at your post wearing your high-viz tabard (which will be provided) until the tail runner has passed (which for certain positions will be for the second time, as it's a figure of eight course)
4. Car Parking: Several volunteers are needed to direct runners to the parking area from Hurley High Street. Your availability would be required from 17:45 as the first runners tend to arrive from 18:00.
5. Other Tasks: Additional tasks include course set up, monitoring the water table, overseeing the food stations, timekeeping, and assisting at the finish funnel.
6. Post-Run clean Up: After the race, it's important that we leave the Meadow as we found it. Everyone is requested to assist with the clean-up process, including taking down gazebos, collecting signs, and removing any waste. Please consider taking a black waste bag with you for disposal, as there are no bins on the Meadow.

Please remember that we don't run our own 5k race ourselves, but rather rely on the support of all club members to volunteer and make it a success. 

Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or need further clarification. We look forward to seeing you all on Tuesday afternoon/evening for a successful and enjoyable race!

Stride On!
