Starting and finishing inside the beautiful Sutton Park, the course heads out onto paths within the park for a lapped 5k, 10k or Half Marathon route that takes in the scenic nature of the park.

Each Mile will be accurately marked out and there will be plenty of helpers to keep you quite literally on track and encourage you on your way.
