This out and back course takes participants through the beautiful hard-packed trails of the undulating Essex countryside. Get into your best Christmas spirit and join the crowds who are out to earn their Christmas Turkey. The out and back loops are 5.3k in the distance so you will need to do 8 to cover a full marathon distance.
There will be aid stations at the end of every lap so you won't have to carry all your gear with you. The aid stations will be stocked with flapjacks, fruit, and nuts, as well as water and squash to keep you going.

Fabulous event, so friendly and a great atmosphere at a great location. Brilliant goody bag and great grab and go snacks on the run. Loved the red jingly bells that had been put on the safety pins for the number bibs 🤩 and I loved the reindeer headband we were given at registration. Thank you, Hare and Tortoise, for a brilliant event... Looking forward to another race 😁

Nice friendly team at the start/finish area. Maybe could have had some music there to keep the atmosphere when runners pass through. Perfect selection of snacks once finished. Nice goody Bag.

The thing that most stood out to me about this run was the support staff. They really were very supportive. Not just in a "Good job, you're nearly there" way, but in an extra caring and wanting to connect with you individually kind of way.
