Three runners in "Badgers" team vests are joyfully running along a forest trail with arms outstretched, as if mimicking flying. The wooded path is surrounded by lush greenery and the atmosphere seems relaxed and cheerful.

Organiser's Description

The Bigfoot Challenge is a 6 hour challenge event at Daventry Country Park, in Northamptonshire. The Park is the perfect destination for one of our 6 hour events. The route is varied, relatively flat and runnable throughout.

You decide how many 3.3 mile laps you're going to do on the day within the time limit. If you're looking to cover a marathon distance you'll need to complete 8 laps and a half marathon will be 4 laps.
What's Included

Event specific finishers medal (a nice one too!)

Specially crafted liquid and solid goodies! Details will be dependent on each event, but in the past we have had beer, cider, flapjack and apple juice.

The great feeling of being part of a different event!

A fully stocked aid station on each lap. Think kids picnic rather than water station!

Getting There And Parking

Daventry Country Park, Daventry, Northamptonshire, NN11 2JB.

The County Park has a large car park, cafe and children's play area.

It's 20 minutes from M1 Junction 16.

The closest train station is Long Buckby.

You do have to pay to park (£2.00 at the time of writing). This money goes directly to the country park, it's a great space that needs money and this is their main revenue stream. That said, be a hero and car share, save money and the World!

Course Details

The majority of the course is over crushed stone and, dependent on the weather, could be muddy. There are tree roots, a few small sections where the pathways are more natural and a section of single track running. The route goes around the reservoir into the woodland and around the meadow, this could be muddy depending on the weather leading up to the event. This should give you something different to look at on each lap! The course is runnable throughout.

Race Day Details

Race registration opens at 08:15

Cupless Event

This event is cupless; there are several ways that you can get water/liquid in a 'cupless' race:

1. Carry a bottle with you (or hydration pack)
Simply run and carry your bottle with you, we'll have water dispensers at the checkpoint allowing you to fill up when you need to.

2. The 'Bottle Table'
Given the lapped nature of our events it is an easy fix for us to have a 'bottle table' for you to leave your bottles to pick up as you complete each lap. Labelling your bottle with your name would be a good idea as lots of people have similar (if not identical!) bottles. Once you've drunk all the drink you brought with you, you can have your bottle refilled from our water/squash/electrolytes.

3. Speed cups/ foldable cups
Carry a speed cup or foldable plastic bottle with you to fill up at the aid station. Unlike a rigid plastic bottle it will fold up in your pocket when you are finished. And with a speed cup you can easily go between water and sports drinks.

These options may prevent you from getting a 2 hour marathon but will help you do a tiny bit to prevent unnecessary plastic wastage.
