The Winter Handicap race is on Tuesday 26th November 2024. The Winter Handicap is a fun, individual event, which is free for all members of Horsham Joggers. The course is about 4 miles (6.4 km) and starts and finishes close to the Horsham Sports Club (Cricket Field Road).
The route is on the pavements and includes two loops, anti-clockwise, of Blackbridge Lane, Guildford Road and Hills Farm Lane. There will be marshals posted on all the junctions to help with road crossings.

The aim of the Handicap is for all members to finish around the same time. Members will be asked to provide their times taken to complete either 5k or 10k. Groups of runners with a similar pace will set off together, with the fastest runners starting in the last group. The first group will set off shortly after 7 pm.
Afterwards, please join your fellow runners and other members at the Horsham Sports Club for a social gathering where the winners of the Handicap will be presented with their awards.
Information for Participants
There is no need to register to participate in this event, but you do need to make a mental note of the Group that you will be running with. Your Group is determined by your pace which in turn will determine your start time, as per the table below.
A volunteer will gather everyone in your Group several minutes before the allocated start time, to escort the Group from the Horsham Sports & Cricket Club to the start point. Please ensure you are ready and warmed up to start ahead of your Group’s allocated start time.
