Event overview

Great for trying for a 'Good For Age'.

There's a 7-hour cut off with a mass start and runners will enjoy drinks and nibbles every 10K at the aid stations. The base is the exclusive venue of the Suffolk Running Centre with all the amenities you need for a comfortable and successful distance-run.

This event is ideal for runners who want to get a marathon GFA place.

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 Zig Zag Marathon and Half.

lovely day great marshalls as always making sure ok on a hot day overall great event. Dean S

An excellent road marathon. Enjoyed it, there is 1,300 ft of ascent. It will come out at 26.2 miles if you stick to the side of the road and follow the ORANGE SIGNS!I would absolutely recommend this run to anyone preparing for a big city marathon, the training and support you get are worth it. Well done to ZIG ZAG for another well put together event. John W

Incredible race! The volunteers were amazing! I wouldn't have been able to do it without the support after making a wrong turn! Kyle A

Very relaxed and welcoming event especially as I am a beginner. From start to finish, a very well organised event. A first half marathon for me and it did not disappoint. So much support, beautiful scenic road route and amazing well stocked aid stations. Thoroughly enjoyed my experience! Thank you Zigzag running for a pleasant Sunday run. Enza G

Great way to get running. Great organisation and great atmosphere! Route was tough with lots of hills! Great medal.If i have any suggestion but don’t know if possible would be to start marathons on hot days earlier! Really tough. Matthew R

Amazing experience. Fantastic organised event, supplied with drinks and snacks along the route which really helped in the heat. Well signposted so I didn’t get lost this time. Friendly atmosphere and beautiful scenery, and coffee and a cake and a great medal. Worth every step !! Zoe and Stephen and the team, thank you so much !!! Carrie T

Amazing! The aid station were superb! The Marshals were fantastic driving round giving out water (it was really warm) They really keep an eye out on all runners! Thank you! Wim S
