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!

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.
