Organiser's Description
Join us for the Autumn edition of The Rasselbock Run. A six-hour challenge on a looped trail course that weaves through the undulating trails of Sherwood Pines Forest.
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 5.28km long which means if you complete 4 laps you have done a half marathon, 8 laps, a full marathon and 9 laps or more will be classed as an Ultra.
Please note that these events are not set marathon and half marathon distances. You can run these distances but you'll likely run a little further to have the laps counted.
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.

Course Details
The route sets off from our own dedicated Race HQ area as we head into the forest weaving through the Pines. The route is on a mixed trail of forest floor, muddy areas, and packed gravel paths. Enough of a mix to keep the laps interesting. There are some hills included in the route for free, but nothing that you cannot manage.
Note that this route is subject to change in 2025 as Sherwood Pines is a working forest and parts of our route are scheduled for felling.

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
