Westminster West Country Fair
Here's the 5K race route. (click for photos of the course) (Results)
The race starts in Westminster West near the church, 7 miles north of Putney on the Westminster West Road (turn by the Putney General Store). Parking is along the roads.
The course was wheeled in 1999 (thanks to Tim Eno). It starts on the pavement of the Westminster West Rd and heads uphill on West Rd with the church on your left. The road curves sharply to the left when you pass the Old Athens Road (on right). Then the road gently undulates for a mile. The course turns left at the T-intersection with Cross Rd, which gently descends for more than a mile. You reach the pavement of the Westminster West Rd and turn left for 200 feet. The race forks left onto the old road (now a grass trail) and heads up and over a hill to the finish by the cheering crowd back at the church.
On the map below, each contour interval is 6 meters (20 feet).
