Organiser's Description
Here we go again, a New Year and it’s time to mix things up a little with a whole new medal design and a full weekend of running! 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 and goody bag.
As the event was so popular in 2024, we have decided to take over the forest for the full weekend, giving you a run on the Saturday and then reversing the loop for you all on the Sunday! If can join us for one or for both events.
The loop at Sherwood Pines is exactly 5.79km 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.
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.

How to Get There
Parking
As always we encourage people to car share or use public transport as much as possible when coming to our events. Not only does this mean we help the environment a little but it also means that people get to know each other a little more and you can share the costs of petrol and the car park!
If you are looking for a lift or have space in your car, then make sure you post in our Team Rasselbock Facebook group to see who else is heading that way.

Is there a time limit?
There is a time limit of 6 hours for this event. This means that you need to have completed your final lap before the end of the 6 hours for it to be counted towards your final distance. You will not be allowed to start another lap of the course after 20 minutes of the event is remaining. Each lap is exactly 5.79km long which means if you complete 4 laps you have done a half marathon, 8 laps, a full marathon although it may also be classed as 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.
the route
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.

You’ll be able to pick up your race number on the morning of the event at the aid station/start line. The park will be open from 8am, and you’ll be able to grab your race numbers from 8:10am. Please allow yourself enough time to grab your number before the race briefing at 8:50 am and the start of the run at 9am.
We do not have any secure baggage areas on site but you are more than welcome to leave your bags at the base camp. Whilst we can’t guarantee that they’ll be safe, there will always be someone from Rasselbock around.
We would recommend trail shoes for this route, mainly due to it taking place in January and, let’s face it, there is a high chance that it’ll be cold and wet! So please make sure that you wear and bring with you adequate layers to keep yourself warm throughout the race and just as importantly, once you finish. Like all of our events going forward, we will be operating a bring your own bottle policy. We will not be supplying plastic cups or drinks receptacles at this event so that we can cut down on waste and do our part to help the environment. You will be required to bring your own water bottle, collapsable cup, or similar to the event. We will still have an array of liquids available for you to top up your bottles with at our well-stocked aid station!
The event will be taking place on and around a working forest 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, dog walkers, and children when passing through any of the “activity areas” of the forest.
There will be some public toilets that will be open for our use (from 8.30 am) located at the Visitor Center that is located between the car park and the base camp.
- PLEASE NOTE: The start time is different from the Saturday event!
