Why is there only one prize in my age category?
Due to the quantity of entrants in some of the categories, there is no real competition and therefore no further prizes. This is reviewed annually and if the quantity increases then we will introduce prizes.
How do you calculate series prizes?
For each race, entrants are awarded points, from 20 down to 1, within their category. These are added up and after three races the entrants with the best total points in their category win prizes. In the event that the points are tied, the entrant with the better total time over the three races is awarded a prize over those with inferior times. If total points and times are equal, the criterion is which entrant beat the other more often over the three races. If they tie after that, a coin will be tossed to determine the winner.
Do I get a T shirt (free / to buy)?
There is an opportunity to purchase official Yateley 10k race series technical running tops in 2026. You will receive a link to order yours when you receive confirmation of your entry. Tops come in pink or blue, mens or ladies fit and are priced at £21 including postage. They feature a map of the Yateley 10k route on the back.

What's the history of these races?
Yateley, Hampshire, has been home to a mid-week 10K series since around 1987. We believe that the first races were the Yateley half-marathons, held in the summers of 1980-83. After that they became converted to a series of three 10K races, held at 7:30 in the evening on the first Wednesday of June, July and August at Frogmore Campus on a now-defunct course. Sandhurst Joggers took over responsibility for the organisation of the series in 1992.
Who sponsors the races?
, See our Partners page If you wish to sponsor us in the future, please send email to The Sponsorship Secretary. We will give you extensive publicity in our literature, website advertisements and or banners on the race night. We are also open to your sponsorship proposals.
Can I wear headphones?
We encourage runners to run without headphones and enjoy the atmosphere. However, we also acknowledge that some people do like to run with music and so bone conductor headphones (as approved by UK athletics) are allowed.
Physio and sports massage
The wonderful people at Thorpes are providing post and pre race massage. Just come along to their tenton the field.
How can I contact you?
If you have any issue or comments we are happy to have your feedback. The race series has been going from strength to strength over the years and this is partly because we are continually trying to improve on what we do – sometimes we will make mistakes. We value all the runners who participate in the races and value all comments whether good or bad. Please see Contacts Page
How can I help out?
