On Sunday, 16th February 2025, the Naseby 1645 road race for runners will be passing through East Farndon. The 16.45 mile race route can be viewed here: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/26792272
The route comes into East Farndon along Clipston Road, proceeding along Main Street before turning left into Back Lane, and left again into Marston Lane. The following traffic management measures will be in place around the East Farndon area for the safety of our participants (full details on all road closures and traffic management measures that will be in place for the event can be found here: https://raceharborough.co.uk/naseby-1645-traffic-management/).
Temporary Speed Restriction, to 40 mph from 60 mph
– Clipston Road (from Clipston to East Farndon)
– Marston Lane/Farndon Road (complete length)
– Sibbertoft Road (junction with Farndon Road to junction with Dick’s Hill)
Marshals
There will be a number through the village to ensure the safety of the runners and warn road users/pedestrians as to their presence.
The race starts at Naseby Village Hall at 9am and East Farndon is 7 miles into the route. Therefore, we would expect the timings of runners to be as follows.
- First runners reach East Farndon: 09:38
- Final runners reach East Farndon: 10:48
Our traffic management company will also be putting in place the requisite notification signage in terms of the closed roads two weeks before the race, as well as any required notices. We will also put up a number of directional arrows to ensure that the runners stay on course. These will be removed by a sweeper vehicle following the back runners.
