Starting and finishing in the heart of Bracknell Forest (access near Bagshot off the A322) with a seriously hilly loop on the way out and back, the route will take you on through the army training grounds at Sandhurst (Camberley) where you will pass over the highest point for miles around at Poppy Hill’
The nearest postcode for the venue is GU19 5PN for car park access which is off the A322 Bagshot / Bracknell road. The 1 mile track to the parking area is narrow, uneven and bumpy (so no low sports cars please!).
Cars actually park in Lake Ride which is wide, grassy and sound under foot.
Start venue is Grid Ref 894642 – on the V of the Vicarage Road track. It is a wide grassy area (also used for the Gorrick bike races) approx 20m wide x 100m long. Access for big trucks will be difficult as the approach track is narrow but I have asked Crown Estate for another access just for our delivery vehicles. So please be aware that you might only be able to get transit sized vehicles in at a push!

No Bus routes go near the start.
Camberley is the nearest station. The start is approx 3 miles from the station.

The race begins at 10 am sharp. Don’t be late and miss your chance to be the TURBO X winner - make sure you arrive in plenty time, geared up and ready to take on the trail and the X Zone! We recommend that you get there at least an hour pre start time to collect your chip and get yourself prepared...
On site you’ll be fed and watered pre and post trail run from our specially selected catering company offering hot and cold drinks and burgers (veggie and the meat variety) and bacon butties. They’ll be on hand to feed you up and get you back to full strength!
Plenty of toilets. But don’t forget the extra toilet paper in your kit bag – just in case! Please do not use the surrounding bushes!
We recommend you leave all valuables in your locked cars as parking is near the start/finish area. Alternatively, you can leave bags at the registration area but this is AT YOUR OWN RISK as the area will not be supervised.
