Organiser's Description
THE RACE IS BASED IN THE VILLAGE OF NASEBY, FAMOUS FOR THE BATTLE OF NASEBY IN 1645!
Shires and Spires is a 5 distance event comprising 10K, Half Marathon, Three Quarter Marathon (TQM), Marathon and a 35 mile circular Ultra Marathon with a mixture of trails and roads.

Was an amazing race! Like people say, don’t expect to go in for a pb because the hills are difficult. Staff are lovely and would definitely recommend to people who want a challenge!
100% doing this every year. really nice run, yes it’s hilly and don’t expect to get a pb, but i just really enjoyed it. great views and nicely organised. if i was to criticise one thing i would say that it could have done with one more drink station for the half marathoners. see you next year.
