running parallel to Croydon Road, when you get to the junction of
Carshalton road and Croydon Road, the footpath to Windmill road
is clearly signposted. Also be aware the walk from Beddington
Lane Tram Stop is on a very narrow path next to a busy road so

FACILITIES: Race HQ is at the ECO Centre Windmill Road. Qualified first aiders will be in attendance should medical assistance be required. If hospital treatment is required, the nearest Accident and Emergency department is St George’s Hospital Tooting. There are toilets at the Eco Centre but no changing facilities so you are therefore advised to come ready to race. If using the toilets please ensure they are left in a reasonable state. Mitcham Common is a public space, though permission has been granted by the appropriate authorities, runners and spectators are asked to respect the rights of other users. Competitors are responsible for their own safety, before during and after the competition.
