Route information
In this 6-hour/4-hour event, you will run as much and as far as you want during the time. The easy-to-navigate 5.3k lap through the beautiful Thetford Forest means you can focus less on navigation and more on your running and completing as many laps as you can.
There are two waves for this event, meaning you have the choice to start at 9 am or 11 am. 9am starters will have a 6-hour time limit and 11am starters will have a 4-hour time limit.
Whether you are looking to run your 1st 10k, or your 50th Marathon, this multi-terrain, undulating course is ready for you and the brilliant Zig Zag Running team will cheer you all the way around.

It was a tough 8 lap course in a beautiful forest. At each lap we were able to help ourselves to a wonderful spread of sweet and savoury nibbles an a range of cold drinks. The marshals were very supportive. I would recommend ZigZag Running to everyone. We were very well looked after. Instructions on getting to the venue were accurate,that takes the panic out of the early morning travel.

Brilliantly organised. Good facilities. Well marshaled. Good directions in the course. Good snacks! Free coffee and cake. Love the medal. The only downside was that the course was so tough.
