FEAR (Forget Everything And Run) - High Lodge, Thetford Forest
FEAR returns for its fifth year at a new venue, High Lodge in Thetford Forest. The route uses a 5.3 km loop within the forest grounds and the organisers have exclusive use of the main area and open space.
Distances available include:
- 5k
- 10k
- 15k
- Half Marathon
- Heavy Half Marathon
- Full Marathon
- Ultra Marathon
A heavy half marathon is set as five laps by default with options to change to six or seven laps on the day. The ultra standard distance is nine laps with the option to increase laps up to twelve depending on time available. There is a six-hour event cut off; a shorter four-hour cut off applies to later start groups. A water aid station is located at the lap point.
The course is mainly pathway with a small section of trails and woodland. Road trainers are suggested but trail shoes may be useful depending on recent weather. The event is cupless so participants should bring cups or bottles for refilling.
Facilities and other details include adjacent use of Oak Lodge for registration and post-race teas, coffees and cake, discounted parking at £5 with a QR code for participants, a bespoke event medal on completion or a lucky-dip medal option, and 20% of entry fees allocated to forest upkeep.
