Organiser's Description
This page is for day one of the weekend event
Back again in the Autumn in the shade of the trees as the forest is in full bloom! As always the event will be a six-hour challenge on a looped course around the beautiful forest which is looked after by the UK Forestry Commission. You may attempt to complete as many laps as possible over the full six hours, or you may choose to finish just one, either way, you will be a finisher and receive your bespoke medal.
The aim of our events is to organize races as if I were taking part, so you can expect amazing support, the best medals and goodies, and a smaller group of runners. Think of it as a small group of friends and family all coming together for an amazing day of running!
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 loop at Sherwood Pines is exactly 5.76km long which means if you complete 4 laps you have covered a half marathon, 8 laps, a full marathon and 9 laps or more will be classed 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 finisher.
No set distance, just go!

Yet another amazing event. So well organised. Best volunteers cheering you on and let’s not forget the handmade medals! Honestly best medal I’ve ever been given. I’ll be back.

What a brilliant event. Very well organised and extremely friendly. Erik (organiser) was super helpful from start (at point of booking) to finish. There was ample snacks and drinks around for people to help themselves.
My little girl was with me to come and support my running family members and she ended up with a yellow tabard on, helping 'officiate' , she had a great time. We've not done many events before but would definately seek out a Rasselbock again. Thanks to Erik and the team for a lovely experience.
What an amazing event for my first organised run! I arrived and saw people of all ages, races, shapes and sizes it really is open to anyone from your weekend warrior to your hardened ultra runner.
Registration was easy, course well marked out, the staff very encouraging with their cheers. If I had to raise one negative it would be the distances, the advert claimed that 8 laps was a marathon, when in face 8 laps it’s just shy of 29 miles!!
Cannot fault the people, the course, the food and drink and of course the lovely medal that was in keeping with the event.
I’m looking to run this again next year to see if I can beat 8 laps 🤞
A nice simple loop round the forest with lovely Marshall’s to stop you getting lost and cheer you on, and lovely choice of food to eat and squash or water or pop to drink also tea an coffee, you can do as many as you wish to do from 1 to well you have six hours so the sky is the limit I did 4 just over a half marathon
Happy to try another one of there races ,good pre races communication to .
Amazingly well run. My first time running one of these and was very impressed with the organisation from start to finish! Marshall’s around the track were great at some much needed motivation! And let’s not forget the free snack stand! This saved me!! Great atmosphere and really friendly. Sherwood pines is also a gorgeous route to run round!
Very impressed and when my legs event recover then I’ll definitely be back.
Thanks to everyone’s hard work x
