Organiser's Description

This is the 2nd event in the Fenland Runner 5k Intro Swimrun series and 10k , 21k solo and 21k team HEAD UK Grass Roots Swimrun Series.

We are extremely fortunate to have kind permission from Castor Parish Council and Alwalton Parish Council to use all the epic paths and trails around their beautiful villages. Without their support we just wouldn't have such an amazing course.

The swimming for the 5k solo race is in the beautiful Gunwade Lake, the 10k solo race is in Gunwade Lake and the River Nene with easy entry and exit points. The run sections are predominantly flat, off road with tracks, field and compact trail. A great newcomers course.

The first half of the 21k is more demanding with up and downsteam river sections and heads out through woods and tracks. The running is more undulating and has a couple of quiet road sections before it joins the 10k course for the 2nd half of the race.
