Event overview
Set on the beautiful and picturesque Deene Park Estate, near Corby, the festival consists of three separate running challenges that can be done as standalone events, or combined together as 'The Quest for the Golden Carrot' - so there's something for everyone!
As well as the running, there's an inspirational speaker, food, and live music on the Saturday evening, plus free camping for everyone who enters an event. The aim is to bring runners of different levels and expertise together to share the experience of their encounters over the two days. Individual goals are different, so everyone has a story to tell. In addition to the entertainment on offer.
It’s sure to be a memory-making event!
