Loughborough University

The courses were created as part of the legacy from The British Sprint Distance Championship 2013 and the UK World Skills Training Week.  The courses were updated following the British Sprint Championships 2019.

If you are intending to compete in the JK 2024 these maps are of an embargoed area!

 

Student Union Start is close to the East gate.

The Facilities Start is off University Road and with its central location can be accessed from the East or West gate.
