Where Green Park Reading 10K starts and finishes

Green Park Reading 10K starts at Green Park, Longwater Avenue, Reading RG2 6GP and finishes at Green Park, Longwater Avenue, Reading RG2 6GP. We haven't been able to place those on a map accurately enough to show one — a pin in the wrong place is worse than no pin.

These are the start and finish points, not the route. Verus doesn't hold course files for this race, and drawing a line between two pins would be a guess you might end up training on. The official course map is the one to use: view it on the organiser's site .

Training Strategy for Green Park Reading 10K

Standard Training Window

6-10 weeks is a solid window for a 10K, whether it's your first or you're chasing a PB. Consistency and a weekly speed or threshold session matter more here than sheer mileage.

Terrain Specificity

This is a largely flat course, so most of your long runs can mirror that — flat and steady, building time on feet rather than hill strength.

The Taper Phase

Ease off mileage in the final week, keeping a couple of short, sharp race-pace efforts to stay fresh. Arrive at Green Park, Longwater Avenue, Reading RG2 6GP fresh, energized, and primed — not fit, fresh.

Pacing Execution

Lock in your target pace using the interactive splits calculator below — no official pacers are confirmed for this event, so a pace band on your watch is the more reliable option.

Fuel & Hydration Prep

Test your race-day fuel and hydration plan on your long training runs, not for the first time on race day — check the Race Day Checklist below for what's actually on this course.

How many weeks do you actually need to train for this 10K?

10K Nutrition & Fueling Plan

2-3 Days Prior

A modest increase in carbohydrate intake over the 2-3 days before the race is the sensible approach for a race of this length.

Race Morning

Eat a carb-focused breakfast 2-3 hours before the start, and stick to something you've already tested in training.

On-Course Fueling

A 10K rarely needs on-course fuel for most runners — water stations are the main provision at this distance.

Post-Race Recovery

Post-race recovery starts with carbohydrate and protein, ideally within the first hour.
