Organiser's notes:Run this gloriously scenic, flat, multi-terrain, point-to-point half marathon along the Thames towpath. Mainly traffic free.
Run in reverse directions each year; this year it is "Down Flow" therefore starting in Marlow, finishing in Eton/Windsor, taking in Maidenhead, Cookham and Bourne End along the way.
Plenty of parking at either end. As this is a point-to-point race, you have the option of parking at the finish and taking the coach to the start (additional £6 - MUST be booked on application) - once you've finished the race your car will be there waiting for you!
Spectator friendly route and finish area with refreshments, so bring the family!
