Organiser's Description

St David's Day Challenge

In 2023 we had St George's, in 2024 we had St Patrick's so why not come along to St David's Day Challenge with a one-off medal that you will want to add to your collection.

Come and join us at our exclusive venue at Suffolk Running Centre, Church Road, Bury St Edmunds, IP29 5AX

It's a six hour event with a mass start at 9am. You can 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.

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.    

We will be utilizing the Back Quack route
 

Parking is also included in your entry price.     

The Race HQ/Base Camp is located at the start and Lap point and at the base camp we will have our water/aid station.

Or if you choose the lucky dip finisher option, you will choose from a selection of previous or finisher medal.
