Route information
We will be utilising the Dalham Kiln route which is a Half marathon Loop
Those doing the 5k and 10k will be doing the Denham Flats Route
Route description - Dalham Kiln
21.4 km (13.3 mi) · loop from the campsite · 88% road / 12% trail · 191 m of climb · high 123 m / low 49 m.
Route description - Denham Flats
10.4 km (6.5 mi) · out-and-back from the campsite · 100% road · just 22 m of climb · high 107 m / low 89 m.
Comfortably the flattest route out from the Suffolk Running Centre. You head out on quiet lanes to a turnaround at around 5.2 km, then retrace your steps home. There's the gentlest of rises on the way out — barely noticeable, spread over the whole leg — which means it tips very slightly downhill on the way back. No hills, no surprises, no gradient to fight.
What's included
- Medal (Lucky-Dip or Event Medal)
- Coffee and Cake for all finishers
- Event marshals
- Water/aid stations
- Free Parking
- Chip-timed results
