Ferry Meadows is one of the largest country parks in the region.
Situated less than three miles from Peterborough City Centre at the heart of Nene Park, its varied landscapes make it a favourite destination for thousands of visitors throughout the year.
There is a 6-hour event starting at 9am or a 4-hour event starting at 11am. Run as far as you can during the time, plus a little bit more if you're lucky. As long as you leave Base Camp by 5:59:59 you get to run another lap! Rest between laps then head out for more.
The 5.3K lap through the forest consists of gravel footpaths and some grassy areas - so a true multi-terrain course.
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 event!
With next to no navigation, no special kit requirements, an aid station every lap and straightforward logistics - this is ideal for going further than ever before.
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 Summer Ready Run.
A team discount may be available depending on numbers - simply get in touch for details.
Dogs on leads are usually allowed at the venue, but they are not allowed to run with you.

Very well organised, beautiful route. This was my first Zig Zag race and it couldn't have been organised any better. Superb Marshalls, lovely cake at the end, beautiful scenery and a lovely friendly atmosphere. Kate Taylor
Great support as usual. Susan Collins
Fantastic event. I've done a few ZigZag events now and all have been fun and friendly with spot-on organisation and a supportive team of organisers and marshals. Great medals and scrummy cake at the end, too.This one is a pretty route, easy underfoot and relatively flat. The 5k-ish laps ensure you can do as much or as little as you want to on the day so there's no pressure if you're not feeling great or want to do more than you intended. Good snack station at the end of each lap to refuel. Anon
Brilliant couple of hours in the Peterborough sunshine. Simon Hughes
How events should be! Alan Bartrum
Very well organised, very friendly and welcoming crew. A lapped event with no pressure. Very well stocked aid station to top up with drink and snack at the end of each lap. Topped off with a cool medal, hot drink and huge chunk of cake waiting at the finish line. What else is there to say. Simon Sparkes
Such a friendly bunch, I love these races. They’re good for beginners and seasoned runners. The goodies on offer after each lap are the best and coffee and cake after is great. So well organised and great value for money. Oh and the medals are definitely the best out of all the races I do. Jaqueline Cook
Can't wait to come on the next one. Well done guys. Viaceslav Goncarenko
A well organised race, friendly and great to hear runners encouraging others as I ran. Drinks and snack station well set up. Tea and cake afterwards was perfect. I would do another one. Sally Smith
The event was very well organised, with friendly staff on hand to motivate and inform us. Also loved that the event was cup-less so much better for the environment. Also having free cake at the end was an added bonus. 10/10 stars!! Jessica West
