About The Event:
Join us for our Rocky Horror Picture Run and earn our fabulous themed medal.
Distances include 5km, 10km, half-marathon, marathon, 50km and Ultra distances, but you can choose how far you want to run on the day, meaning this is a great event if you are new to running or want a no-pressure event to achieve a personal goal.
Distance & Time: This is a 7hr Time Challenge event which allows you full control over the distance you want to run. The minimum distance is 5km, which is part of a full lap. A full lap is 3.28 mile course at this venue. The minimum distance will be a shorter 5km lap.
Course: The course is within Herrington Country park and the final route will be announced a few weeks prior to the event.
Medals: As long as you complete one lap, you will be an official finisher and you will receive our fantastic medal. We have mini-me pins available for the first 100 entrants.
