Elephant Challenge - Harwell

The Elephant Challenge is a 6-hour running event held at the award-winning Salcey Forest near Northampton, England. Participants run multiple laps of a 3.5-mile off-road loop through well-maintained forest paths, mainly on crushed stone and forest floor, with no asphalt. The event welcomes all abilities, allowing runners to complete as many laps as they wish within the time limit, from a single 5K lap to over 50 miles.

Dogs on short leads are welcome, and the course suits trail or road shoes depending on conditions. The event promotes a friendly, sociable atmosphere and supports Roald Dahl’s Marvellous Children’s Charity. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
