Event overview
It's a 7-hour cut off with a mass start. Your race, your pace, your distance!
This race offers you a number of distance choices - 5k, 10k, Half, Full or Ultra. This route is an out and back, making it a very social route. The marathon will be one full loop (out and back), and all other distances will have turnaround points.
The Gallops Route will be used which is a fairly new route to the Suffolk Running Centre. It takes you through to Newmarket to the Gallops you may get to see the race horses in training.
There will be an aid station of drinks and nibbles every 10K at the Race HQ/Base Camp which is located at the start/lap point.
There will be a bespoke medal for the event, which you will receive at the end of the race. Or if you choose the 'green' lucky dip option, you will choose from a selection of previous medals.
This event is part of The Lucky Horseshoe.
