The Course: The race is run completely on a traffic-free loop on cycle paths (with the crossing of one very minor, private road)

Toilets: Permission has been given by the landlords of The Horseshoe to use their toilet facilities.

The emphasis of The Horseshoe Relays is fun; no-one should feel that they are not quick enough to race. A summer evening, a pub, a short run with old friends and new ones and the chance of anyone to win a prize - why wouldn't you come along and take part?
The Horseshoe Relays are based upon the popular Lacock Relays hosted by Chippenham Harriers. Emersons Green Running Club would like to acknowledge the excellent model provided by the Lacock Relays and the assistance of Chippenham Harriers in creation of The Horseshoe Relays. In addition, we would also like to acknowledge the co-operation of the landlords of The Horseshoe, Ben & Carrie Waring.
