Route information

Easier Said Than Run - back for our 2nd visit this year at the beautiful Bawsey Country Park

LOCATION: Bawsey Country Park, PE32 1EP

The park is located on the B1145 between the Queen Elizabeth Hospital and Gayton

It's a six-hour event, (if you start at 9am, and 4hour event if you start at 11am) run as far as you can during the time. 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.

On the day

You will see the start area from the car park. On arrival proceed to registration to collect your bib numbers.

Please leave belongings in your vehicles. There will be no baggage but you will pass by the car park each lap.

The Race HQ/Base Camp is located at the start and Lap point we will have our water/aid station, the Race director will call you all to the start line. It will be a mass start.

The terrain consists of country park footpaths and grass areas. Our suggestion is to wear road trainers, but depending on the weather before the event you may want to bring trails if you have them but not essential. This is a trail event.

We have designed a Bespoke medal for the event, which you will receive at the end of the race. (Unless you have chosen the Finishers Medal Option your medal choice will be a standard finisher medal)

We will have virtual spaces available for anyone who wants the run for the medal but cannot make the event date. These are only available on our Zig Zag Running website
