Hello! Welcome to the annual Nayland 10k sponsored by Peake Fitness, and how excited we are to be organising the third event of it's kind in Nayland, this year on Sunday 30 June. We are trying to be greener and careful of our beautiful environment and surroundings this year, so are proposing the following changes:
Reducing event waste and promoting recycling
Promote cupless water stations with Ooho water capsules
Award finishers a wooden, very unique Finisher's medal made from sustainable wood
Reduce and reuse event signage/printed materials where possible
Commit to partnering with local businesses to enhance the event and support the community
Together with a very similar route to last year's and an improved chip-timing collection process, we'll be producing a Finisher's medal made from sustainable wood, which will be awarded to all those taking part in the run.
Free Running Top
This year we are supporting SESAW. Suffolk and Essex Small Animal Welfare are based in Leavenheath and is run by volunteers. Fundraise at least £75 for SESAW and get one of our limited edition Nayland 10k running tops. You can find out more in the charity section of the website.
Volunteers
We are also on the hunt to recruit lots of volunteers, so if you know anyone who perhaps wants to give their time up and contribute to our fundraising event please do get in touch.
Thanks for all your comments and feedback and we hope you like our changes and improvements. We will be limiting the entry numbers again so make sure you get a ticket and help fundraise lots of money!
Thanks again, Team Nayland.
Our supporter Eat Natural are generously giving you all a free Eat Natural bar when you finish! Yummy! A big shout out and thanks to the team at Eat Natural in Halstead.

This year we are supporting a local and loving charity, SESAW. Based in Leavenheath, Suffolk and Essex Small Animal Welfare (SESAW) is dedicated to the care of sick, injured and abandoned animals. We would love you to fundraise and donate as much money as you can.
Over the last two years we have donated almost £3,000 to our chosen local charities, and helped fundraise over £4,000 for Colchester Hospitals. This year we would like your help to raise more! You can find out more info by clicking on the link below.
If you raise over £75, you get a free Nayland 10k running top! Please let us know when you have donated, and we can reserve you a size. You'll just need to let us know by 1st May so we have time to make our order.
UPDATE!: Time has passed...If you have fundraised and not informed us of the size top you would like, then as we only have limited sizes it's first come first served.
As part of our core values as a team, our commitments and our support for local charities, we will continue to make a donation on behalf of every runner entering the Nayland 10k. This year, we will be donating to:

Start & Finish Venue: Nayland Village Hall, CO6 4JH, map
The route is the same as last year, with subtle improvements including:
Things to consider:
This year we are trying something a little different, we're producing large wooden medals.
We feel these represent the Nayland 10k more than a chunky metal medal, and promote the direction we would like this event to go - a more natural feel, helping the environment as much as we can.
So why the change?
Ooho water is filtered water in a biodegradable sachet. The outer membrane is plant based so when you throw it away it degrades in 6 weeks just like a fruit peel.
Why?
Plastic bottles are one of the most common items of litter found in the sea. They take 700 years to decompose, so changing the way we package our drinks is imperative to the protection of the environment. Ooho makes it 'easy to be good' and allow runners who care about the environment to make the positive choices they want to make.
How to consume Ooho:
The purpose of using Ooho is to replace single use plastic bottles and cups, and so reduce waste and stop plastic from entering the environment. Water stations will contain biodegradable cups, however we plan to significantly reduce our use of single-use plastic water bottles. Our participants health is of utmost importance and we'll have plenty of water available throughout the event.
Our water stations will feature:
Keep the kids and family entertained. The below will be on throughout the event.
All the money raised from the above will be donated to Nayland Primary School.
Sam from S C Fitness will be organising several running classes in the run up to the Nayland 10k - to get you ready for your 5k or 10k challenge.
A bit about Sam...
I began running 6 years ago, starting with a local 5km parkrun on Saturday mornings. In the following years I increased the distances I ran and begun racing 10 km events, mainly on roads. Following an injury to my Achilles, a friend suggested that I ran off-road and that is where my love of trail running began.
I regularly run routes around Nayland, often following the Stour Valley Path and have completed numerous trail marathons, including Stour Valley Marathon. In the last couple of years I have also completed some ultras, which include Peddars Way (48 miles), Norfolk 100 (64 miles) and SVP100 (64 miles).
The Nayland run is a great introduction to off road running, which is why I'm happy to support it by leading the warm up and providing run coaching to prepare entrants for both the 5km and 10km events, together with opportunities to run the route before the event on guided runs.
I've run the Nayland 10k route as a Lead Support Runner for the past two years, so am familiar with the route and the best viewpoints to appreciate the views across the valley. I am also an England Athletics Coach in Running Fitness, have a Level 3 Diploma in Personal Training and provide fitness classes in both Leavenheath and Nayland village halls.
Let's run and have fun.
