Pumpkin Plod

Pumpkin Plod is a timed running event held at Ferry Meadows, one of the largest country parks near Peterborough, UK. Participants run laps of a 5.3 km multi-terrain course featuring gravel footpaths and grassy areas through the scenic park. The event offers two options: a 6-hour or 4-hour challenge, where runners cover as much distance as possible within the time limit, making it suitable for all levels—from first-time 5k runners to ultra-marathoners.

The race is well-supported with an aid station each lap, straightforward logistics, and no navigation required. Finishers receive a bespoke medal, and virtual participation is also available. Parking is available but chargeable. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
