Great atmosphere – fun, friendly and relaxed. Good to be able to change your race distance as you see fit.
I especially liked the way the medal said ‘first half marathon’ on it, rather than just ‘half marathon’. That’s a nice touch, and it makes it feel even more special.
The marshals were encouraging – it was a shame they left when they did! But it’s great to look through all the photos they took, and the other runners were liberal with encouragement, too.
Thank you to all involved in putting on this event; you did a good job :)

Awesome race - you got to do as many 5.3k loops of Brandon Country Park as you could in 6hrs & if you did you could do another loop for funsies. Great idea & a very well organised race. Will definitely do again.

Organiser's description
Back this year to Brandon - The Sun is on the Run - Likely to be one of the last sunny days so do consider joining us for a run around the lovely Country Park
LOCATION: Brandon Country Park
It's a six hour event, 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, we have designed a 5.3k lap throughout the park consisting of gravel footpaths and some grass areas.
You can run as much or little as you want to, you can rest between laps if you like and head out for some more.
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.
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.
When you enter the race, you will receive an email from Zig Zag Running containing the race brief information.
