Organiser's Description

The Joust 24hr race with three options:

Take on the full 24hr challenge, either as a Solo, Team of 2, Team of 3-5 or a Team of 6-8 or….
Take on the 12 hour challenge where your target is to run 50 miles. As soon as you have the 50 mile completed you can relax, as your race is over. Available to solo runners only.
Or…Take on the super chilled option of 6hrs! Available to solo runners only – how far can you go in 6hrs?
The Joust race is run over a looped course circa 5.6 miles (due to the course being on private farm land the route changes slightly each year). The course is well marked and marshalled, easily navigable and relatively flat.

Solo (or individual team runners) achieving 100 miles or more and Teams achieving 200 miles or more will also receive the coveted Joust Buckle.

Kids Joust: The Kiddies race now has an inflatable obstacle on the course. For 2024 it was the rope maze. For 2025 it was the wrecking ball. What obstacle will appear for 2026?
