A group of runners participating in a trail race through a forest. Several runners are wearing numbered bibs and hydration packs. The path is surrounded by trees and grass, and the atmosphere appears focused and energetic. A group of runners wearing race numbers jogs along a gravel path through a scenic countryside. The path is flanked by green grass and yellow flowering fields. The runners appear focused as they move forward. Trees and bushes add greenery to the background. Three runners smile and give thumbs up during a race. The woman on the left, wearing a headband and "Hazel" bib, and the woman in the middle, wearing a pink cap and "Karen" bib, both look energized. A man in a green shirt is on the right, partially cropped out. Multicolored gradient background with repeating "Zu" pattern.

Its April Fools so come join in the April Fools Frolic!

Come and join us at our exclusive venue at Horseheath Racecourse, Cambridge, CB21 4QP

It's a six hour event, run as far as you can during the six hours and a little bit more if you're lucky, as long as you are leaving the Base Camp by 5:59:59 you get to run another lap, we have designed a 5.3k route which encompasses the grounds of Horseheath racecourse, 90% of the route is within the grounds and a small portion is on a public footpath/Bridleway.

You can run as much or little as you want to, you can rest between laps if you like and take in the music at the aid station, all whilst socially distancing of course.

You may be completing your first official 5k,10k, Half Marathon, Full Marathon or even ultra-Marathon, or it may be your 100th or 1000th, the location is pretty self-contained, making this an intimate event with us having exclusive use of the main area. We have plenty of open space at the venue to ensure we can all stay socially distanced and space ourselves adequately,

This race is also ideal for those who want to try and achieve a Marathon distance and for those who also want the option to push a little further, possibly an ultra but without the complications of trail ultras, with next to no navigation, no kit required, an aid station every lap and straightforward logistics.
