Event overview

At this event you will have the opportunity to tackle a 10K, half marathon, marathon or ultra. 

Whether you're new to your chosen distance, or a veteran, the team will cheer you along your way! 

The 6-hour event starts at 9am or the 4-hour event starts at 11am. 

As long as you are leaving the Base Camp by 5:59:59 you get to run another lap, there is a 5.3K lap throughout the park consisting of gravel footpaths and some grass areas.  

The location is pretty self-contained, making this an intimate event and having exclusive use of the main area with plenty of open space. 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. 

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 SunTime RunTime.

Another awesome day. Lovely surroundings fantastic friendly atmosphere. Plenty of support from marshals and fellow runners. Susan Collins

Another great event, always given great support. Great for the distance runner also a great for the first timer, and you will be made to feel welcome no matter what distance you are doing. William Mitchell

Lovely course in a country park. The organisers are so welcoming and supportive. Unique medals and generous slice of cake and hot drink at the end. Joanna Taylor

This event was very well organised. There we many friendly marshals and direction arrows and a lot of distances to chose to run. Although very good value for the run, there was also loads of cakes, tea & coffee at the end to enjoy. A great selection of medals and excellent facilities. Even the route was 'adapted/changed' to take into account weather conditions to ensure the runners safety. Anon

Really nice venue for a run with a good variation of paths, very well put together. Organizers adapted for the weather and the event ran smoothly. Lovely course and ideal for all abilities. Mark Ames
