Had a great time at my first ZigZag event with my son Harry. We both planned and completed ultras.
Organisation on the day was great and they are a very friendly bunch both organisers and runners. Small field of runners so no issues with overcrowding, good selection of during run drinks and sweets etc and wonderful cakes at the finish of your event. Couldn't believe the giant Red Velvet cup cakes were still there after my 5.30 hours running.
I look forward to attending more of these events.

Ran my first race with ZigZag and it was amazing. Well organised, everyone was friendly and they had a great supply of refreshments and sweets available. Smashed my PR for a half marathon and to top it off, there was cake and coffee at the end! Would definitely go back.

Brilliant , well organised event. The RD and all the volunteers were enthusiastic and made the event an enjoyable experience. The post race cake and coffee were the best, I was so happy to find they catered for vegans 😁 I will be doing many more events with them.
Hi Wendy
Glad you enjoyed our event and look forward to seeing you again

Organiser's description
Easier Said Than Run - back for our 2nd visit this year at the beautiful Bawsey Country Park
LOCATION: Bawsey Country Park, PE32 1EP
The park is located on the B1145 between the Queen Elizabeth Hospital and Gayton
It's a six-hour event, (if you start at 9am, and 4hour event if you start at 11am) run as far as you can during the time. As long as you are leaving the Base Camp by 5:59:59 you get to run another lap, we have designed a 5.3k lap throughout the park consisting of gravel footpaths and some grass areas.
You can run as much or little as you want to, you can rest between laps if you like and head out for some more.
You may be completing your first official 5k,10k, Half Marathon, Full Marathon or even ultra-Marathon, or it may be your 100th or 1000th.
This race is also ideal for those who want to try and achieve a Marathon distance and for those who also want the option to push a little further, possibly an ultra but without the complications of trail ultras, with next to no navigation, no kit required, an aid station every lap and straightforward logistics.
On the day
You will see the start area from the car park. On arrival proceed to registration to collect your bib numbers.
Please leave belongings in your vehicles. There will be no baggage but you will pass by the car park each lap.
The Race HQ/Base Camp is located at the start and Lap point we will have our water/aid station, the Race director will call you all to the start line. It will be a mass start.
Please note the event has gone cupless - so please bring your own bottles or cups for refilling.
The terrain consists of country park footpaths and grass areas. Our suggestion is to wear road trainers, but depending on the weather before the event you may want to bring trails if you have them but not essential. This is a trail event.
We have designed a Bespoke medal for the event, which you will receive at the end of the race. (Unless you have chosen the Finishers Medal Option your medal choice will be a standard finisher medal)
We will have virtual spaces available for anyone who wants the run for the medal but cannot make the event date. These are only available on our Zig Zag Running website
Important note: Parking is included in the cost of this event, please ensure you collect a parking code before you depart.
