Organiser's Description

The Pierrepont Plod is a six-hour challenge on a looped course around the amazing Holme Pierrepont Country Park and Watersports center in Nottingham.

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! This is also a perfect course if you’re aiming for a PB as it’s almost perfectly flat.

Each lap is almost spot on 5.46km long which means if you complete 4 laps you have done a half marathon, and 8 laps will be classed as a Marathon and 9 an Ultra. You can finish your event at any time within the six hours, and as long as you have completed one lap then you will be classed as a finisher.

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 is no worries if you're having a "bad running day". Just complete one lap of the event and you're classed as a finished.

If you want to try trail running then this is the event for you...I say 70% trailand 30% concrete. Loads of sweeties and drinks... you just need to bring your own cup which i think is a very good idea. Marshals are evr so helpful and friendly, will cheer you own and give you the odd "one more lap you can do it" push. And the bearded brother were just awesome(forgot to get their name 😳 )... my only problem is the medal... I thought they gave me the wrong one...medal shows the events name and a guy in a kayak...I was expecting a guy running..lol. anyway aside from the medal everything's perfect.

A very well organized event with an interesting course layout - trail and asphalt. It was challenging at times but nevertheless, enjoyable. The support was first class with marshals around the course and a well-stocked pit stop. Other similar events that I have entered could learn a thing or two from this one. Thanks to all the staff.

A great event. Very well organised. Everyone from the marshalls, to the sweet shop lady, to the runners, to the guy who scans the QR code were very friendly. Also a lovely place to do an ultra marathon. See you all next time!
