Event overview
The Mallard Challenge takes place at Brandon Marsh Nature Reserve near Coventry, offering runners a relaxed endurance-style event set among lakes, wildlife habitats and peaceful countryside trails.
Participants complete repeated laps of a scenic trail loop through the reserve’s paths and tracks. Run as far as you like, from a few laps to marathon or ultra distances.
Highlights
- Run as many laps as you wish in the 6-hour time limit
- The 3.3-mile off-road loop means your race can be 5K or even over 80K and anywhere in between
- You decide how many laps you're going to do on the day within the 6-hour time limit
- To cover a marathon distance, you'll need to complete 8 laps
- To cover a half marathon distance, it's 4 laps
- It’s completely up to you; there is no pressure, but see if you want one more lap
- The format is great for people looking to run further than they’ve ever done before, do a long training run for future events or to enjoy a sociable event with your friends
