Organiser's Description

How far is the race?

You decide! The 3.5-mile off-road loop means your race can be 5k or even over 80K 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 7 laps (+ a little out and back) and a half marathon will be 3 laps (+ an out and back).

What’s an Altra try-on event?

Our friends at Altra will be coming along with a complete set of a few different models of their amazing foot-shaped shoes for you to try out on the trails! Simply take your size out for a lap or 3 and see what you think.

I, Paul, am I a big fan of Altra and have been wearing them pretty much exclusivly since 2018. They are different (in a good way!) and so being able to go for an actual run on actual trail is a great opportunity. The lapped format means if you don’t get on with them it’s just one lap of discomfort - not your whole event!

No catches, no hard sell and no ruined event! We’re just trying to add something else to your day.
