Organiser's Description
You may attempt to complete as many laps as possible over the full six hours, or you may choose to finish just one, the choice is yours and you don't have to decide how far you're running until you're running! The course will take you around the stunning grounds of the Hardwick Estate, from the ponds and farmlands to past the house itself.
The route is still being finalized but should be around 6.25km long, so 4 laps is a Half Marathon, 7 laps a marathon, 8 laps or more will class as an Ultra.
At Rasselbock we like to put on events how we'd like to have them. No stress, pressure, a great bunch of runners, and a small entry pool so everyone can meet each other. You can decide on the day how far you'd like to run so there are no worries if you're having a "bad running day". Just complete one lap of the event and you're classed as a finished.

course details
The route will take you through the stunning ground of the Hardwick Estate, around the farmlands and ponds before making your way up "the" hill towards the stately home itself.
The route will be 6.25km long and you need only complete one lap in the six hours to be classed as a finisher.
The event will be taking place on a National Trust site that will still be open to the public. Runners will not have the right of way and we will need to be considerate to all the other users of the area, be it walkers, cyclists, families, etc. The route will be avoiding the busiest visitor areas but please be aware of other users on the site.
