What pace will we be running at?

When you sign up for an event you will be asked for a rough 5k, 10k or half marathon time, we will then use this to place you in a group with people of a similar ability, you will not be running at that pace.

All runs are led at a conversational pace, ESCAPE trails events are about taking in the scenery and enjoying the trails, not racing. Please be aware that you may not be the slowest person in your group, and you may need to run at a slower pace than normal.

Such a great bunch of people. I was very slow but encouraged all the way. This is a great opportunity to have a run/jog through the fabulous Thetford Forest without worrying about times/pacers/being overtaken or in my case being last! Worth every penny. We are all on a different journey and this caters for all travellers.
