Very enjoyable and well organised. The course flooded and had to be changed the morning of the race but all well organised. Unsurprisingly the course was very wet and muddy. Great fun including lovely coffee and cakes for finishers

Brandon Country Park is in the very heart of Thetford Forest.
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 a 5.3k lap throughout the forest consisting of gravel footpaths and some grass areas – a multi-terrain course.
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.
