The race is organised by the 1st Woodley Scout Group. Race committee members have varied interests /attributes including, running enthusiasts, volunteer fund raisers or were simply press ganged into helping out for a good cause.
The Woodley 10k & 3k road races are a main source of fundraising with the proceeds going to the 1st Woodley Scout Group which is a registered Charity. This enables us to provide an exciting programme for local Boys and Girls aged from 6yrs - 14.5 yrs.

Runners comments
Excellent race, good flat route with plenty of drinks
I thoroughly enjoyed the run and there was such a great atmosphere throughout the day
My first Woodley 10km race - well done, great race & organisation.
I thoroughly enjoyed the race and felt it was very well organised.
The event was very well organised - well marked throughout (even uneven road signs), good support from the water stations and good range of refreshments and re-hydration at the end
Especially popular since 2004 was a mist spray for cooling off at the finish line, it will be making a reappearance in future (subject to hosepipe restrictions).
We welcome constructive comments and hearing when runners appreciated the race.

Last year's race 2006 we introduced new technology 'Electronic Chip Timing' to the Woodley 10k and 3k races
Due to the growing popularity of the races, this lead us to take the decision to step into the 21st century and use computer assisted technology to time runners. This will eliminate human error caused when enthusiastic runners cross the finish line more than once.
This will provide accurate race timings
