The 13th Colworth Hare and Tortoise Run
The event is a 26.3 mile route completed over five laps around the Colworth Estate in North Bedfordshire, based at Colworth House Sports and Social Club, Sharnbrook, MK44 1LB. The course follows gently undulating trail and unclassified road, with some woodland paths that have an uneven surface and exposed roots. Several sections are narrow, and there is a limit on entries.
The event accepts individual entrants and teams of five. Solo runners must be aged 18 or over on the event date; teams are limited to a maximum of 15 teams and each team member must be over 15 years of age. Entry fees are listed as £23 affiliated or £25 unaffiliated for individuals, and £50 per team of five. Entries open 6 September 2026 and close 27 November 2026. Entry is managed through SiEntries.
On-course facilities include a checkpoint every lap providing water, flat Coke and individually wrapped snacks, with additional drinks at a half lap point. The event is cup free, so participants should bring their own bottle, mug or hydration bladder. Toilets and car parking are available. Organisers may provide baggage storage, changing rooms, showers and hot food at the finish subject to prevailing restrictions; no liability is accepted for stored items.
In case of cancellation or postponement, entries can be deferred, refunded less administration fees, or donated to charity. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
