Route information
Terrain Paths
Route Type Out and Back
Route Type Out and Back
Competitors will complete a 5.3k looped course through Horseheath Race Trials. The course itself will be over mixed terrain. You will have 6 hours to knock over as many kilometres as possible.
But don't be alarmed by this long time limit, this event is for runners of all abilities. This could be a great opportunity to run your first 5k, 10k, Half Marathon, Marathon or even Ultra Marathon. You can run as few or as many laps as you wish, resting between laps or pushing yourself through the whole 6 hours.
For those more experienced athletes looking to really push themselves, this is a brilliant opportunity to run a long distance with no other complications, no navigation, no kit required and with feed stations every 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.
