# Where to stay for the Chichester 10K 2027 > The Chichester 10K 2027 is on Sunday 7 February, starting and finishing at Goodwood Motor Circuit. The Marden is three self-catering houses at West Marden, about 20 minutes’ drive from the circuit, each with its own kitchen. Each sleeps 4, so a running club can take two or all three, up to 12 people, and book direct with no fees. - **Date:** Sunday 7 February 2027 - **Start and finish:** Goodwood Motor Circuit - **From the farm:** About 20 minutes - **Sleeps:** 4 per house, 12 across the farm ## The race and the date The Chichester 10K starts and finishes at Goodwood Motor Circuit. The 2027 race is on Sunday 7 February, and that date is on the [organiser’s entry page](https://runbaseevents.eventrac.co.uk/e/chichester-10k-10251). A word of warning: two race listing sites show 31 January for 2027. The organiser’s own page says 7 February, and that is the one to trust. Check it for the start time and entry details, which we do not repeat here in case they change. ## Getting there from the farm and back West Marden is about 20 minutes’ drive from Goodwood. A 10K is not a Festival of Speed, but there will still be a queue into the circuit on race morning, so leave a margin. Follow the organiser’s parking instructions. You can be back at the farm well before lunch. Check-out is by 10am, so stay Sunday night as well if you want the house to come back to after the race. Check-in is from 4pm. Parking at the houses is free. ## Why a house the night before Runners like to eat what they always eat. With your own kitchen you can cook the usual supper on Saturday and have the usual breakfast on Sunday, at whatever hour you need it. Nobody is waiting for a hotel dining room to open. February is cold. [Keepers](https://themarden.co.uk/stay/keepers) and [The Old Stables](https://themarden.co.uk/stay/the-old-stables) have wood burners, so there is a fire to sit by afterwards while your legs recover. [The Old Stables](https://themarden.co.uk/stay/the-old-stables) and [Barley Cottage](https://themarden.co.uk/stay/barley-cottage) are each on one level, with no stairs to face on Sunday afternoon. Each house sleeps 4, and a club can take two or all three, up to 12 people. ## The rest of the weekend Saturday is for keeping off your feet. [Chichester](https://themarden.co.uk/local/chichester) is about 20 minutes away for a gentle look round. After the race, the Victoria Inn in the village is a very short walk from the houses, which is about as far as you will want to go. Book a table for Sunday lunch. If you stay into the week, snowdrops are usually out from late January to the end of February, at West Dean Gardens among other places. The [South Downs Dark Skies Festival](https://themarden.co.uk/events/south-downs-dark-skies-festival) is reported to start on Thursday 11 February, and [February half term](https://themarden.co.uk/events/february-half-term) is the week after that. For an easy leg-loosener on Monday, the West Marden loop of the [Octagon walks](https://themarden.co.uk/local/octagon-walks) is 2.7 miles from the village. There is more running at the circuit later in the month. A Running GP at Goodwood Motor Circuit, with distances from 5K to 50K, is listed for Sunday 21 February 2027. That date is from the event listing and we have not confirmed it further. ## When to book February is a quiet month on the farm, so there is usually anywhere free. Once your race entry is in, send us a WhatsApp. Book direct and there are no booking fees. ## Questions ### When is the Chichester 10K 2027?
