A medal with a cartoon horse running, smiling, and wearing a race bib with the number 123. The horse is brown with white detailing and dressed in a red and black outfit. The medal has "Red Rum Run" written in bold red letters. The ribbon is dark red with subtle patterns. A runner, wearing a blue and green tank top and a hydration vest, pours water over his head in an effort to cool off. His race bib reads "Glen." He's sweating and has his eyes closed, and there are blurred trees and banners in the background. A runner in a blue shirt and cap races along a gravel path in a rural area, with a blurred background of fields and greenery. Another runner is visible in the distance behind him. The photo is credited to Kevin Richards Photography. A runner wearing a blue shirt with the name "ROBBIE" printed on it, holding a water bottle, and smiling during an outdoor race.

Organiser's Description

So we are at a Race horse location, so come join us for the RED Rum Run.

Wearing RED is optional but could also add to the fun

Come and join us at our exclusive venue at Horseheath Racecourse, Cambridge, CB21 4QP

It is a 6 hour event (if you a 9am start) or a 4 hour event (if you 11am start), run as far as you can during the six hours and a little bit more if you're lucky, as long as you are leaving the Base Camp by 5:59:59 you get to run another lap. This event will be on an out and back course through the beautiful grounds of Horseheath.

You can run as much or little as you want to, you can rest between laps if you like and take in the atmosphere, drink and nibbles at the aid station.

You may be completing your first official 5k,10k, Half Marathon, Full Marathon or even ultra-Marathon, or it may be your 100th or 1000th, the location is pretty self-contained, making this an intimate event with us having exclusive use of the main area. We have plenty of open space at the venue to ensure we can all stay socially distanced and space ourselves adequately,

This race is also ideal for those who want to try and achieve a Marathon distance and for those who also want the option to push a little further, possibly an ultra but without the complications of trail ultras, with next to no navigation, no kit required, an aid station every lap and straightforward logistics.

On entering, you will receive an email with the link to the race briefing pack giving you all the instructions you need for race day
