Route information
This 6 hour timed event is a wonderful opportunity for runners of all abilities to come and enjoy pressure free running.
Competitors will complete laps of a 5.3k lap throughout Haughley Park. The course itself will be flat over mixed terrain, with a combination of gravel footpaths and grass sections. You will have 6 hours to complete as many laps as you can, and if you're lucky maybe a little bit more because if you leave the base camp before 5:59:59, you can complete one more lap!
There will be an aid station located at the start line which you will pass at the end of each lap.
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.

Everyone was very friendly. It was well organised. The selection of cakes was impressive! The only thing I would change is that it was a bit disappointing not to be able to find out my time. When you finish the run, you want to know how long you took! I think you're going to send it out sometime tomorrow. But it would be much better if you could tell people at the time. That's the only thing I would want to improve. Otherwise, really good.

The only confusion was finding the actual race! Once we got that sorted it was brilliant. Absolutely WONDERFUL staffing. I would race with you again any time.
