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

Organiser's description
Back but this time in the spring!
Easier Said Than Run! - That is what we all say
Come join the fun and see how far you can go.
LOCATION: Hinchingbrooke Country Park, The Stukeleys, Huntingdon. PE29 6DB
It's a six hour event, run as far as you can during the six hours and a little bit more if you're lucky, 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.
When you enter the race, you will receive an email from Zig Zag Running.
