Organiser's Description

Formerly called The Wellingborough Multi Terrain Series, we are pleased to offer this two round multi terrain run with round 1 at Irchester Country Park with a choice of 3 distances: 5, 10 or 15K. This year we are back to the downhill version, running the event in the opposite direction to 2024!

Whether you’re looking for a multi terrain fun run, take your parkrun off road, want to practice the run leg of your triathlon, or run a serious race in some stunning surrounds, then the varied terrain of the Jurassic Irchester Country Park in Northamptonshire is ideal. It doesn’t matter what ability level you are as you have three distance options .

The course for all 3 distances is the same – with the 5km runners completing 1 lap, the 10km runners 2 laps, and the 15km runners 3 laps with everybody starting at the same time.

If you fancy a change from your parkrun, trying trail running, a step up from your usual 10k run or if you like things a little more…well dirty!

Brilliant trail running. The course through the Irchester Country Park is beautiful and scenic, plus the hills and mud make it a tough challenge. Marshalls were great encouraging the runners the whole way round. Thoroughly recommended for anyone who enjoys running off road.

Fantastically muddy. Well organised event, marshals were all Encouraging. The mud wall was good hard fun 👍 Nice bit of bling, porridge and flapjack at the end.
Thanks Georgina hope to see you again next year
