Several members of Sphinx AC are proud to have supported JLR at their third annual Charity Fun Run in memory of those who lost their lives to Covid 19. Over 300 employees and their families took to the start line on Sunday 1st October for three different races around the test track at the companies Fen End test facility. There was a 1km, 5km and 10km distance available, all of them starting on the main 3 lane wide closed test track and finishing in front of the control tower for the facility.
The Sphinx AC Coombe 8 is a tough multi-terrain course with a mixture of wooded trails and undulating farm land at the historic site of Coombe Abbey on the outskirts of Coventry. Back for 2023, in a new format, the course has been changed to spend more time in the woodlands and less time in the open “Sheep field”, or the first time ever there is also the option of an 8km (5mile) route for those less sure about running the full 8miles.
