A fast, scenic course which is traffic free and almost completely flat. Technically, the course is classed as multi-terrain; however, this is a bit misleading. The measured course uses a private driveway and footpaths. Also, with a total height variation of just 8m over the entire distance the Marston Vale Forest 5K offers genuine PB potential.

Cash prize for a new course record:-
Men: Neilson Hall (2009) 14:40
Ladies: Frances Briscoe (2008) 17:23
