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.

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.

Brilliantly organised event. This was my 1st time doing a Zigzag event and my 1st attempt at a lap style race. Can't fault Zig Zag, well signposted lap, cheerful Marshals, well stocked aid station and really good coffee and lovely cake at finish. Also the biggest heaviest medal in my collection 😄!

Really well organised event, friendly and encouraging staff and volunteers! The route was changed due to flooding but an alternate route was arranged so no one had to miss out. Was really good fun, thank you!
