Sunday 28th November is the date for the seventh running of the Bass Belle 10 Miler. Why the name Belle? First, Bassingbourn is known for the famous airplane called the Memphis Belle. Secondly, the course itself is beautiful or in French - 'Belle'. This is a flat, fast course which consists of 8.5 miles on road and 1.5miles off road along a grass track. Course perfect for runners new at the distance or those training for a half marathon. Course measured by GPS.

Bass Belle 10 Miler - Sunday 28th Nov - only 4 places until we are full!
Dear fellow runners, I am pleased to annouce that the Bass Belle 10 Miler will be returning for a seventh time on Sunday 28th November. Race entry is now open. I already have 461 runners booked in from last year and with a race limit of 465, I expect the event to sell out quickly. Sadly though, due to the ongoing Pandemic and the uncertainity about what the Winter months will bring, this year's event will be scaled back compared with previous years. Unless the situation changes dramatically before the race, there will be no baggage area, no refreshments or food stalls, no massage and no Trophy Presentations. For further information on the measures for this year please read the pre-race info, terms and conditions and Covid-19 documents below. What I can offer this year is the same lovely course and a bespoke medal for all finishers. There will be £50 cash prizes for beating the course records and although we are not having Trophies this year there will still be category winners with those getting a £5 discount on next years race. There may also be the need for the race to be started in waves this year.
