Overview

This 16th Centrury house in Northamptonshire was a palace to King James I and then a prison to his son King Charles I after his defeat in the Civil War.  Now a family home, the grounds are used for exclusive events and it's gardens are loved by all.

The 5K canicross will start 15 minutes before the trail run.

Everything was amazing! Outstanding even! I proactively look out for certain race organisers and happily enter, knowing a great race will be put on. Roxanne M

Lovely venue and good testing course on proper off-road surface, i.e. minimal tarmac. Colin M

A proper trail event – hills, mud, grass and gravel. Glad I opted for the 5k but the challenge of attempting it at speed made for a very enjoyable event. If you like proper trail running, this is a great event. Karl J

Very well organised race. Dogs were made very welcome. Beautiful off road route. Diane P

The announcer lady was terrific, I really enjoyed listening to her......there was a bottle neck at the gate... which effected everyones time......loved it and hope to do again next year. Michael C
