Birch Challenge

Tue 1st October 2024

A group of runners on a trail in a forest setting. One leads wearing a green tank top and headband with "Vegan Runners" on the shirt, and a race bib numbered 67. Others wear varied outfits, including a red shirt, pink jacket, and black pants. The path is gravel, and the surroundings are green.

Organiser's Description

How far is the race?

You decide! The 3.3 mile off-road loop means your race can be 5k or over 50k and anywhere in between. You decide how many laps you're going to do on the day within the 6-hour 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.
