The Mount Barrow route is a lap starting and finishing at Suffolk Running Centre and has next to no navigation or kit required. You'll have fantastic view across Suffolk.
Whether you are looking to run your 1st 10k, or your 50th Marathon, the brilliant Zig Zag Running team will cheer you all the way around. This event is ideal for those looking to achieve marathon distance, or even wanting to push a little further to a possible ultra.
Each lap there will be an aid station stocked full of cold drinks and nibbles. Take a break at the aid station after each lap if you like, you can run as much or as little as you fancy on the day. So long as you leave base camp before the 6 hours is up (before 5:59:59) you've still got time for one more lap.
