Event overview
Ferry Meadows is one of the region’s largest and most-loved country parks. Just three miles from Peterborough city centre, it sits at the heart of Nene Park and offers varied, scenic landscapes visited by thousands year-round.
Choose between a 6-hour event starting at 9am or a 4-hour event starting at 11am. Your mission is simple: run as far as you can within your timeframe. If you leave Base Camp before 5:59:59, you get to head out for one final lap!
Between laps, take a breather, refuel and then push back out when you're ready.

Friendly and well organised. For someone who’s a complete novice this was a great, friendly well organised run that was 100% inclusive for beginners like me. Looking forward to doing another event soon. Ricky Heath
