The route encompasses a 5.3km loop within the grounds of Thetford Forest. (ROUTE TBC)

You may be completing your first official 5k,10k, Half Marathon, Full Marathon or even ultra-Marathon, or it may be your 100th or 1000th, the location is pretty self-contained, making this an intimate event with us having exclusive use of the main area and have plenty of open space.

A heavy half marathon as standard will be 5 laps (but there is the option to change this on the day to 6 or 7).  An ultra marathon as standard will be 9 laps (but there is the option to increase this, according to time available e.g. upto 12 laps)

There will be a water, aid station located at the lap point so no stress of having to carry lots of food, water or equipment.

We will be based adjacent to Oak Lodge and will be utilising Oak Lodge for registration and for the provision of your complimentary teas, coffee and cake on completion.

There will be a Bespoke medal for the event, which you will receive at the end of the race.   Or if you choose the lucky dip option (if an available option), you will choose from a selection of previous medals.

The course will be mainly pathway with a small section of trails and woodland (final route TBC).  Our suggestion is to wear road trainers but depending on the weather before the event you may want to bring trails if you have them but not essential.

Whilst not compulsory, festive dress up is welcome to create a bit of Christmas Cheer!
