Organiser's Description
It's Fun-time
It's Fancy Dress Frolic!
After the gloomy month of January, lets bring some cheer.
Fancy Dress is optional but you must admit it could be fun! Lets see those Flying Feet in Fancy Dress in February
Come and join us at our exclusive venue at Horseheath Racecourse, Cambridge, CB21 4QP
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, the location is pretty self-contained, making this an intimate event with us having exclusive use of the main area. We have plenty of open space at the venue to ensure we can all stay socially distanced and space ourselves adequately,
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.

Location
how it works
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 route which encompasses the grounds of Horseheath racecourse, 90% of the route is within the grounds and a small portion is on a public footpath/Bridleway.
You can run as much or little as you want to, you can rest between laps if you like and take in the music at the aid station, all whilst socially distancing of course.
base camp
The Race HQ/Base Camp is located at the start and Lap point where we will have our water/aid station, the Race director will call you all to the start line where you can remain socially distanced for the race briefing, then you will progress to the start line in your coral of up to 6 people to start the race.
You will be able to leave your bags and extra kit you want to bring in your car as it will be close to the start/Lap point of the race. We also have a large barn for items to be left at your own risk
medal options
We have designed a Bespoke medal for the event, which you will receive at the end of the race.
If you choose the Lucky dip entry option you will receive a medal but it will not be specific to the event
