Organiser's Description

It's a seven-hour cut off and a mass start at 9am.
Your race, your pace, your distance!
This race offers you a number of distance choices - 5k, 10k, Half, Full or Ultra
Those doing under a half marathon distance will travel along an out and back, being turned around required, making it a very social route.
The half marathon will be one loop, 2 loops for the full marathon and then the run to the 5k turnaround point for an ultra.
We will be utilizing the Windmill Way route (Golding Hills for 5k and 10k)
There will be an aid station of drinks and nibbles every 10k.
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.
Upon entry you will receive an email confirmation from your entry portal and Zig Zag Running. This will also contain the link to the race briefing information pack.
We have designed a Bespoke medal for the event, which you will receive at the end of the race. Or if you choose the lucky dip finisher option (if available), you will choose from a selection of previous or finisher medal.
This route is all road. You will pass through the villages of Higham, Gazeley, Ashley, Dalham and Denham.
Whilst this is a road event, it does have rolling hills and an elevation of around 600ft.
Please note the event has gone cupless - so please bring your own bottles or cups for refilling.
With it being close to Christmas - why not come along in fancy dress - whilst not compulsory, it will add some fun to the event.
