A woman wearing sunglasses, a colorful headscarf, a purple tank top, and a race bib numbered 23 is smiling with her arms outstretched while running on a grass field. A man in a blue outfit is running behind her. Trees and a trail are visible in the background. A group of people in athletic clothing gather near a starting line, marked by a white and black banner with "START" written in red. They appear to be preparing for a race or run. Trees and buildings are visible in the background. A woman with curly hair wearing a colorful athletic shirt and running shorts is running on a grassy area. She is smiling and holding what appears to be a small object. The background shows greenery and a blurred picnic table. A wide dirt path winds through a dense forest of tall, green pine trees under a bright blue sky with a few scattered clouds. Sunlight filters through the trees, casting dappled shadows on the ground. A vivid, colorful race medal displaying distance markers including 10k, 13.1, R.I.O.T, and 26.2 on a staircase-shaped design. The connected purple ribbon has a white zigzag pattern and partially visible text, "YourTherapy," all set against a black background.

Brandon Country Park is in the very heart of Thetford Forest.

It's a six hour event, (if you choose 9am start or 4hours if you choose 11am) 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.

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 a confirmation from your entry portal and then a confirmation from Zig Zag Running which includes a link to the race briefing pack

Parking is chargeable at the park, and we will have marshals directing you to park on the day.

Great atmosphere and a helpful team who provided delicious coffees and cakes post-race. The Brandon (Suffolk) race took place on a really wet day, so it was quite muddy and slippy, but I'm told that it's usually not a muddy course and that the water drains away well. Either way, for my first race, I had a lot of fun :)
