The route is a measured 10km. It takes you on quiet country lanes, wide tracks & the sea wall. The surface is flat on paved roads and gravel tracks.
The route heads out of the park’s north entrance into Rookes Lane turning left and follows the road before turning left into Lower Pennington Lane. This lane runs into the gravelled cycle/ walking track towards Keyhaven. At the water point turn sharp left onto the sea wall and continue to just before the pedestrian gate on the sea wall forking left onto the grass track behind the sea wall. Rejoin the sea wall further on at the end of this track. Turn left a few hundred meters after passing a concrete quay on the seaward side. At Oxey Barn house turn right onto Lower Woodside Road (tarmac). At the Chequers Inn turn right into Platoff Road and then left into Poles Lane. After 100m enter Woodside Park by a metal 5 bar gate. Pass 2 oak trees until reaching the hedge turning right and go through first gap onto a tarmac path, turn left to an isolated oak tree and go round it towards the pavilion and finish.

The Lymington Lifeboat 10K has grown from small beginnings into a major community event to raise funds for the local RNLI lifeboat station operating costs and crew training. The addition of children’s fun runs has made it a more inclusive event. We would like to thank all those who have helped and supported staging of this event to make it increasingly successful.
Our major donors are Lymington Yacht Haven (10K) and INEOS Children's Fun Run and we thank them and all our donors for their very generous support. Donors of money and services to support this event are featured in the adverts in this booklet; without their help we would not be able to hold an event of this size and donate monies raised by runners to the local lifeboat at Lymington.
We are also very grateful for the ‘ON-THE-DAY’ help provided by over 120 individuals including:
Lymington Triathlon Club
9th Lymington Sea Scouts (marshalling, water stop),
HM Coastguard
St John’s Ambulance
Wessex Sound Hire Limited
Lymington and Pennington Town Council
Woodside Park Team
New Forest District Council
Hampshire County Council
FR Systems (admin and results)
Jason Ludlow Photography
Woodside Café
all the many marshals and helpers
and of course…
You the runners and your sponsors!

When you decide to remember someone you love and miss with the RNLI, you can be sure that together, you and your loved one will help save lives at sea for years to come. By making a memorial donation for someone special, they become a lifesaver – and so do you.
There are many ways to honour their memory – with a one-off donation, an online tribute fund, or with a funeral collection. You could even add their name to the side of a lifeboat. We’re here to help you make a lasting and fitting tribute – to help you remember them in the most meaningful way.
To give in memory of your loved one, scan the QR code or call our Giving in Memory Team on 0300 300 0061. Or email: In_Memory@rnli.org.uk
