Lincoln & Gainsborough Schools Cross Country
Dear all,
We are pleased to confirm the University of Lincoln will be supporting the Lincoln & Gainsborough Schools Cross Country on Friday 18th November 2022.
The event will take place between 08:00 – 13:00, the first route will begin in the Parkland, also known as the old golf course. A secondary route will take place on the path adjacent to the Parkland, and a third, and largest route will take place on the permissive footpath adjacent to the Briary Holt.
On this date, the permissive footpath will be closed during the races, after which it will reopen.
At some points, routes will intersect with the Public Bridleway. Access to pedestrians will be maintained, but there may be short waits of 5-10 minutes to allow runners to pass. We appreciate your patience and support in this community event. As always, we ask that members of the public keep their dogs on leads.
Please also be aware that coaches will be dropping off and picking up students at either end of the event.
Staff are advised to park in alternative park in P1 or P2, adjacent to the Plowright House and Riseholme Conference Centre, as there will be a high number of students on site and to facilitate coach drops offs.
Staff are also advised that there may be some noise disruption in the Rural Science Centre during the announcement of races, but this should not be constant.
The schools will be managing the Health and Safety and running of the event. Wardens will be dotted across the route. I will be on site on the day also.
Please email RiseholmeParkFarm@lincoln.ac.uk with any concerns or call 01522 886777.
