Since 1998, the Orpington 10k has been the highlight of our running club's calendar and has over the years raised many thousands of pounds for Darrick Wood school. We have been granted with our England Athletics Permit for the Orpington Races, number 2010100580

The 10k race will be run under UK Athletics rules and is a single lap multi-terrain course through some of Kent's finest countryside, starting from Darrick Wood Senior School, Lovibonds Avenue, in Orpington. Minimum age for the 10k race is 15 years. For a map of the 10k course, follow this link. 

The 2k route and Fun Run consist of one lap of school field then one lap of Darrick Wood, returning with a lap of the field to finish. The fun run is open to all regardless of age.

Proceeds of all races go to Darrick Wood Parents and Staff Association (PSA) (Registered Charity No. 271541).
