Match location: Farthing Downs, Coulsdon, Surrey, CR5 2NF. Host for this event is South London Harriers. If new to the club, this is just off the new A23 (the main London-Brighton road) in Coulsdon itself. The Clubhouse is on the left-hand side (west) as you head towards London, about 800m north of Coulsdon South railway station. The entrance is set back from the pavement, slightly behind the Comrades Club, and opposite the library. There is a sign above our entrance. I would suggest being there no later than 11:15-11:30 as there is a 5 minute walk to the start area. See main map for directions to start of race.
