Amersham 5 History
The first Amersham 5 race was held in 1978 based at Hervines Park Amersham, this being the time of the running boom. It has been run every year since.
When the Sunday trading laws changed in 1998 the main roads became even busier. The original route used part of the A413, the dual-carriageway going back into Amersham. The famous Rectory Hill was removed from the course, along with the part on the dual-carriageway, climbing instead up farm land and emerging at the top of the hill to rejoin the old course, with the finish still in Hervines Park
The new setting of Amersham Cricket Club at Shardeloes was first used in 2008, to many acclaims from runners for the course and the spectacular setting. Access to part of the course is with the kind permission of Shardeloes Farm. Note that part of the course is private land - no access other than on race day please.
