READING ROADRUNNERS – Bramley 20/10 Road Races: 15th Feb ‘26
Reading Roadrunners is organising the Bramley 20 and 10 mile road races to be held on Sunday 15th February 2026. The course consists of a 10 mile loop which is run twice for the 20 mile race. These races are a popular feature of the local and national racing calendar and over the years have raised thousands of pounds for charity. The 2026 races will continue the success of previous years and will be an enjoyable event for all participants.
Bramley Primary School will be our race HQ and the races will start and finish outside the school. The races will start at 10:00 (half an hour earlier), and the runners will congregate on the start line on Bramley Lane prior to this. The course will remain open until 14:00, and we expect to be out of the school by 16:00. In order to provide all the facilities for the runners, the school will open at 08:00 to enable us to get ready for the event and to build the start / finish area in the school entrance.
Traffic restrictions will be as follows:
- Bramley Lane will be closed at 08.00 from the southern end of Moat Close all the way north to the junction with Olivers Lane. This is a new extended closure for 2026 and so the north exit from Moat Close will be closed. All traffic must leave via the south exit and go south towards the level crossing.
- If Bramley Lane / Moat Close residents need access within the affected road closure area they must approach from the level crossing end of Bramley Lane and liaise with the marshals for access.
Please do not drive through the start finish area. - At the start of the race (10:00) there will also be a short road closure on Sherfield Road between Bramley Lane and Folly Lane until all runners are through; about 10-15 minutes.
It’s not too late to take part…
