A woman jogs on a paved path in front of a large historic building, wearing athletic clothes and a race bib. Trees and grass surround the area, and a child walks in the background.

Three runners with race numbers jog on a paved path in a park, with leafless trees and more runners visible in the background under a clear sky.

Two people wearing orange shirts and running gear jog side by side on a paved path in a park, surrounded by grass and tall, leafless trees under a cloudy sky.

Two runners with race numbers 73 and 76 run on a dirt path through a forested park area, surrounded by trees and greenery, under a partly cloudy sky.

A group of runners wearing race numbers participate in an outdoor trail race on a grassy, tree-lined path, with more people and spectators in the background.

A scenic landscape featuring a lush, green meadow with gentle rolling hills under a vibrant blue sky dotted with clouds. The field is bordered by dense trees on the horizon, bathed in sunlight. A simple rail fence runs along the foreground.

A serene path winds through a lush, green forest with tall trees and dense foliage. Sunlight filters through the leaves, casting dappled shadows on the ground. Fallen leaves and patches of grass line the sides of the pathway, creating a peaceful, natural setting.

A tranquil pathway winds through a lush, green forest. Tall trees on both sides form a canopy overhead, casting dappled sunlight on the path. Fallen leaves are scattered on the pathway. A wooden fence lines the left side, and a yellow caution sign is visible.

How it Works
There is one starting line where everyone will begin from, this same line then becomes the looping line that provides lap times each time you go around.

When you're ready to finish, you cross the same line and let one of our team know that you're finished. The results will show the number of laps completed, total distance and time elapsed.

There is a time limit of 8 hours and during that time, your challenge is to run as many 5km loops as you can. Any laps not finished by the cut-off time are not included in your results.

While we do not consider our events to be competitive, we do have a results leaderboard and course records.

Aid Station & Facilities
Surrounding the start/finish line will be the aid station.

There will be a bag drop that you can access at any time of the day and if you would like to bring your own food and drink, you are welcome to leave it with us at the aid station.

The start/finish line will act as the singular aid station and spectator area. This is where spectators can gather and participant's crew can set up individual aid stations if preferred.

Our aid station will provide water, fruit, sweet & savoury snacks and energy bars and electrolytes from our event sponsor VOOM.

With sustainability in mind, we are operating on a bring your own bottle basis. We will have plenty of water for you to fill up your bottles, but we will not be providing cups at the aid station.

There will be portaloos available throughout the event, situated at the aid station.

Doing The Double
If you choose to take on both days and make it a full weekend of running with us, here's what you need to know.

The set-up will be exactly the same for both days in terms of times, structure and facilities, however, the route will be run in reverse.

You'll keep the same race number, but we'll give you a fresh bib on the morning of day two.

We'll combine your distances from each day for a final total finishing distance across the weekend in a separate leaderboard, so you'll have three sets of results - day one, day two and both combined.

The aim of the challenge is to cover as much distance as you can across both days.

What a great event! My first ever running event as well and went so smoothly, Aid stations was always full of water and snacks. Toilets on site as well and volunteers at every 1km or so never felt lost. It is a very hilly course much more than I expected first 10/20km was fine but after that it feels more and more steeper!
