Event overview

At this event you will have the opportunity to tackle a 5K, 10K, half marathon, marathon or ultra.

Whether you're new to your chosen distance, or a veteran, the team will cheer you along your way!

The 6-hour event starts at 9am or the 4-hour event starts at 11am.

The location is pretty self-contained, making this an intimate event and having exclusive use of the main area with plenty of open space. There will be a water, aid station located at the lap point so no stress of having to carry lots of food, water or equipment.

There will be a bespoke medal for the event, which you will receive at the end of the race. Or if you choose the 'green' lucky dip option, you will choose from a selection of previous medals.

Lovely event. Well organised, great support team & marshals, friendly atmosphere. Hills and hay were interesting! Love the medal. Anon

Would definitely recommend this event as a run to do! John W

Lovely event. Great team and support. Definitely will come back! Lisa P

Nice course, challenging in parts but beautiful setting. Well organised and friendly atmosphere. Loved it. Cadogan O

Made to feel very welcome. I think that because it was such a hot day it would have been easier to run in the opposite direction. You would have been able to maintain a better speed as it would have been more down hill and the up hill part would have been more in the shade. Lindsay D

Absolutely great event and amazing people. Raju D

Beautiful. Tough going on the hills well worth the effort for all that scenery though. Daniel W

Fantastic, friendly, organised. Emma G

Everyone is welcomed into this running family. Perfect location, fantastic views, not so nice hills. Excellent hosts and this time the weather was spot on. Simon S

A well organised, fun, great value for money event. Matt F
