Event details
The Colworth Hare and Tortoise Run is a multi-lap event held at Colworth House Sports and Social Club in Sharnbrook, Bedfordshire (MK44 1LB). The course is around the Colworth Estate in North Bedfordshire and consists of 26.3 miles run over five laps. The route uses gently undulating trail and unclassified road, with some woodland paths that have uneven surfaces and roots. Some sections of path are narrow, and this contributes to an entry limit.

Facilities include toilets and car parking. There is a checkpoint every lap offering water, flat cola and individually wrapped snacks; additional drinks are available at the half-lap point. Participants may leave personal food or drink at the checkpoint. Hot drinks will be available and the event is cup-free, so participants should bring their own bottle or mug.
