Organiser's notes:Lovely point-to-point race from Cowley Recreation Ground, Uxbridge along the Grand Union Canal to Cassiobury Park, Watford. A lovely flat, scenic, unusual, multi-terrain course. Traffic-free apart from one minor road crossing. As this is a point-to-point race, you can choose to leave your car at the finish and use the bus to get to the start - your car will then be waiting for you when you've finished. Please note that you need to book your seat on the bus (£5) when you register. Places in this race are limited and last postal dates given as a guide only until the limit is reached. Great spectator-friendly start & finish in Cassiobury Park!
