2026 Race 7 – Nick Hay Howell Property Group ‘Keith Badcock Memorial’ Bishopsbourne 15.3km – Information, Race Brief and Maps

 

 

The Keith Badcock Memorial (Bishopsbourne) 15.3k is a historic event. Starting at the Bishopsbourne Recreation Ground, the race heads right towards Bracknell on Liffey Road before taking a right onto Bracknell Lane. Then once in Bracknell, take another right onto Oaks Road before taking yet another right onto Pitts Lane. Pitts Lane then connects back onto Liffey Road where the race heads north back to the Rec Ground to finish.

 

The Short Course covers 3km as an out and back course turning right out of the Bishopsbourne Rec Ground along Liffey Road before veering right onto Coach Lane and then connecting to Bishopsbourne Road going north. The turnaround point is right at a bend in the road at 1.5km, and then the race heads back the same way to the finish line. The juniors complete this same route but at half the distance, turning around before the end of Coach Lane to finish at 1.5km in total.

 

 

We also have some special events happening after this race, all in the Recreation Ground:

• BBQ after the run (venison burgers, veggie burgers and beef sausages with GF bread available – all meat is GF). $5 per person and $10 for a family, all you can eat! All proceeds will be going toward supporting the club to hold our annual race season.
• Timer training after the run – available to anyone wanting to learn how to operate the timing equipment for our races, so you can help out on race day! Learn the process while munching on a BBQ lunch.
• We will have club shirts available for purchase and collection ($10 per shirt or simply collect your shirt with your name on the back if you previously ordered one!)

Please arrive 30 MINUTES prior to the race start time to attend a marshal briefing, receive a high-visibility vest and make your way to your location. 

Marshalls will likely need to drive to their location, due to the length of this course – so please arrive early in anticipation of this!

 

Don’t forget to sign up as a volunteer! All volunteers will go into the weekly draw to WIN one of two pairs of Steigen socks on offer, thanks to Intersport Launceston.
