CHÂTEAU DE CHANTILLY - 20 MAY

Runners will start in the heart of the Chateau, through estate woodland trails, followed by the famous Chantilly racecourse, a real highlight for racers and us alike! All runners will then head back to the picturesque estate grounds.  The course is fairly flat, so this would suit many runners looking to get a fast time!
