| The 2008 Claygate Country Five Run was on: Sunday 13th July 2008, 10.30am Sponsored by Gascoigne Billinghurst
About the Run The annual five mile run, which attracts an entry of over 500 runners, is organised by the Claygate Flower & Village Show Society. It is really the first event of the Flower Show which takes place the following Saturday.
The run follows a route which, after apart from the final mile, is nearly all on footpaths on and around Arbrook Common. Newcomers to the run are surprised at how attractive this countryside is. Only moderate hills are encountered. The run starts and finishes at the Claygate recreation ground. There are four age categories for each of male and female runners (as set out below) and the first three finishers in each receive a trophy to retain. The winner gets a cup to hold for a year. In addition there is a Family Section (open to residents of Elmbridge) pairing father/son, father/daughter, mother/son, mother/daughter. The pair with the lowest combined finishing places win both the honour of being family champions and a dinner kindly donated by The Griffin pub in Common Lane, Claygate Last Year's Run Last year's run was on Sunday 8 July 2007. The run was organised by Bryan Chapple.
