Event specific finishers medal (a nice one too!)

A fully stocked aid station on each lap. Think kids' picnic rather than water station!

Ryton Pools Country Park, nr Coventry, Warwickshire CV8 3BG

By car: Ryton Pools Country Park is 15 minutes South of Coventry and 15 minutes from Junction 16 of the M1. Use the post code CV8 3BG for Sat Navs.

By train: The closest train stations are Rugby and Coventry. Rugby has off peak services to London and Birmingham New Street and morning peak and evening peak services to/from Glasgow, Manchester, Chester, Liverpool, Blackpool, Preston, Carlisle, Wolverhampton, Crewe and Lancaster.

Coventry has regular services between London Euston and Birmingham New Street. Other services extend to/from Wolverhampton, Shrewsbury, Preston, Glasgow and Edinburgh Waverley, Manchester, Oxford and Bournemouth. Local services also operate between Coventry-Nuneaton, Northampton and Leamington Spa.

You do have to pay to park (£3 at the time of writing). This money goes directly to the country parks, they are great spaces that do need money and this is their main revenue stream. That said, be a hero and car share, save money and theWorld!

It's a relatively flat course with a few little rises that you might not notice much on the first lap, but you might do at the end of 6 hours! Underfoot is crushed stone with a very small section of single track, and a few areas that are a little looser than others. It is a very runnable course.

Race Registration opens at 08:15
Race Briefing at 08:50
Race start at 09:00

Your last lap needs to be started at 14:59:59 at the latest. This means you could do 1 lap and be done by 09:15 or you could try and do 15+ laps and run 40+ miles! It's completely up to you. You might just want to run for 3 hours, whatever you want to do is your decision.

Only complete laps will count towards your official time/distance, no half laps. Once you're out of the race you're out of the race, you can't run one lap, go home have a cup of tea and then come back and run some more! Once you have the medal around your neck you are signed out and finished.

We will usually add a “mini-lap” to help people complete marathon distance if needs be.

We will have a small area under the gazebo where the aid station is, where you can leave a bag, but it is not 'secure' so it is left at your own risk entirely.
