Reminder: Pitsford Water Trail Races; Sunday 1 March

A quick reminder for anyone interested in taking part in either of two races – 10k or a half-marathon. Both distances start at Brixworth Country Park and use public footpaths around Pitsford Water. The races start at 9.00am with the first participants reaching Holcot at about 9.20am, with the final runners passing through at around 10.00am.

Signing of the route, including through the village, will take place on Saturday, 28 February, and warning signs for road users will be put in place. Disruption to traffic and village life is expected to be minimal.

If you’re taking part, good luck. And remember: “Every journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step” (so a half-marathon should be a walk in the park!).

Parking restrictions outside Holcot Village Hall; 23 February until 9 March 2026

Just a quick heads-up that Anglian Water will be carrying out remedial work to the underground pipes affecting the village hall. Starting on Monday 23 February, for a period of two weeks, they will be using two of the public parking spaces outside the hall.

So, although the hall itself will be open as usual, there will be fewer parking spaces while this work takes place. Back Lane itself will not be affected by this work.

Pitsford Water Trail Races; Sunday 1 March

These races start at Brixworth Country Park with routes along the public footpaths that surround Pitsford Water over 10k and half-marathon distances. The races start at 9.00am with the first participants reaching Holcot at about 9.20am, and the final runners passing through at around 10.00am.

Signing of the route will take place on Saturday, 28 February, so you will see a number of small yellow and black arrows appearing through the village. Warning signs for road users will also be put in place. Disruption to traffic and village life is expected to be minimal.
