Organiser's Description
Brandon Country Park is in the very heart of Thetford Forest.
It's a 6 hour event (if you choose a 9am start) or a 4 hour event (if you choose a 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, we have a 5.3k lap throughout the forest consisting of gravel footpaths and some grass areas - a multi-terrain course.
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.
Parking is chargeable at the park and we will have marshals directing you to park on the day.
On entering you will receive an email which will contain the race briefing information about the event day
