Event overview

How far will you run in the 6-hour time limit?

How it works

  • Once registered, you'll start running at 8.30am
  • The course is 4.37 miles per lap
  • There's a 5K turnaround point (the 10K is 2 laps of the 5K lap)
  • Complete 3 laps of the 4.37-mile course for a half marathon
  • Complete 6 laps for a full marathon
  • Complete 7 or more for an ultra marathon!
  • There's a fuel station at the end of each lap - which means you carry less
  • You can start your last lap up until 5:59:59 hrs.
  • The course is on an old railway line on a tarmac path
  • It's out-and-back with no navigation - so simple and sociable
  • Toilets and parking are nearby
  • When you finish, you'll get a bespoke medal and a goody bag
