Almost 100 entered already!
We are delighted to announce that
the 2012 events will be started by Great Britain & England
International Athlete Helen Davies (nee Decker)!!!
(pending London Olympic and other unforeseen commitments)
The Langham 10km and Fun Run is an annual event organised by the Friends Of Langham School (FOLS),
a charitable organisation. The route winds through picturesque Constable countryside, and this late
summer event is recognised locally as one of the most enjoyable and friendliest. The race attracts around
250 runners, from Club Runners of all abilities and those just running to keep fit or just for the fun
of it from neighbouring counties and beyond.
The race starts opposite the Community Centre and finishes at Langham Primary school. There will be ample car parking, food and refreshments provided. Results and prize giving take place soon after the race, in the main school hall.
The 2012 event will place on Sunday 9th September, and by taking part in the event, you are helping
to ensure that both the school and local community continue to flourish.
Please feel free to browse our site for further information and application details......

From Helen Decker (England International Athlete):-
"I thoroughly enjoyed the 2009 Langham 10k. In the right conditions the course lends itself to a very quick run... It is virtually flat, with a small undulation in the first 2k to wake your legs up, and long stretches of straight country road that allows you to get into a nice rhythm which is not broken by continual direction changes or sharp bends. If it is a breezy day the course is very sheltered so it should not be too noticeable. Although the roads are not closed I did not encounter much traffic in the quiet lanes in Langham which provide a perfect and scenic setting for this event. The course is well marked and marshalled, with two water stations, which to be honest you probably won't stop for as you will be on for a personal best!
This was a very pleasant event, and the organisers provided a very warm welcome in the village community centre, with a fantastic selection of cakes to reward your PB with afterwards! The results were very efficient, up within 30mins of the last finisher along with the presentations as well.
Thank you for a great day."
