Organiser's description
The Maverick ARUK Original Suffolk 2023
SATURDAY 28 OCTOBER 2023
WANTISDEN HALL
Back for its third year, you will be running through an unspoilt and largely unventured landscape. The area has a tranquil calming atmosphere and a distinctive character including; wildlife-rich estuaries, ancient heaths, windswept shingle beaches and historic villages. The Suffolk AONB is one of the most important wildlife areas in Britain, encompassing three National Nature Reserves and many Sites of Special Scientific Interest including the RSPB’s Minsmere Reserve. The mud flats and creeks of the AONB’s estuaries contain wetland sites that are wildlife refuges for nightjar, woodlark, and rare heath butterflies. So you will be accompanied on your trail run by an abundance of flora and fauna.
You can be sure that the four routes will challenge you, due to the inclusion of rolling hills and undulating terrain. But rest assured all four routes are perfect for even the least experienced trail runner to become a Maverick for the very first time.
Our event village and race starts is just 2 hours from the heart of London, so perfect for a short day trip for a morning of exploring new trails.

Here at Maverick Race we’re all about celebrating the beauty of the British countryside. That’s why we’ve chosen some of the most iconic areas that Blighty has to offer for our trail running series. We’re not elitist though which is why we’ve made them accessible to runners of all levels. With multiple route lengths to choose from in every location, you decide on the challenge! Our main objective is to get people off the roads and enjoying being outside in the countryside. We just love to run and we hope you will too after experiencing life on the trails. Having experienced many types of events, from 5km club runs through to Ultra Marathons and Ironman Triathlons, we're dedicated to understanding what’s important to you – the runners.
