Located at the Reading Football Club Stadium, the Race Village is close to the start line in Green Park and right next to the finish line on the magnificent Stadium half way line. Athletes come to drop off their baggage in the morning, soak up the entertainment before and after the race, meet friends and grab a bite to eat and drink. Here's an example of what you'll find on Race Day.
