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.
There is a 7-hour event starting at 9am or a 5-hour event starting at 11am.
Those doing under a half marathon distance will travel along an out and back, being turned around required, making it a very social route. The half marathon will be one loop, 2 loops for the full marathon and then the run to the 5K turnaround point for an ultra.
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 Windmill Way Wander.

A well organised, fun event for beginners to advanced. Mark P
Thanks for a great day out with great marshals, and the very best runners too. John W
I love this race. If you’re not sure whether to commit to a zig-zag event then DO IT. They’re by far my favourite. Kat A-H
A great route, superb support and a nice cup of tea and cake at the end to warm up. Kerry M
Absolutely brilliant. Thanks for putting on such a well organised, supportive event. I loved all of it. Really good marshals and volunteers, well-stocked and regular aid stations, and a very friendly and supportive atmosphere. I’ll be back. Paul H
Absolutely brilliant, fun, challenging, and well organised. Leon S
Extremely friendly event, all round brilliant. Lorraine C
