Join us at the Suffolk Running Centre in Bury St Edmunds for this flexible event with a seven-hour cut-off and a mass start at 9 am. Run your race at your pace, choosing from 5K, 10K, half marathon, full marathon, or ultra marathon distances.
The route follows the Gallops course and is an out-and-back, creating a sociable atmosphere. The marathon is a full out-and-back loop, while shorter distances use turnaround points. Ultra runners complete the marathon route before continuing to an additional turnaround point. Routes over half marathon distance pass through Newmarket, where you may see racehorses in training.
Aid stations with drinks and light refreshments are available approximately every 10K, and parking is included. The race headquarters and base camp are located at the start and lap point, where water and support will be provided.
All finishers will receive a bespoke medal, with a lucky dip option available where applicable. Please note that this is a cupless event, so bring your own bottles or cups for refilling
