Organiser's Description

Where is Hinchingbrooke?

It's in Huntingdon so we bring you the Huntingdon Challenge

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.

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!
