About the race
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 forest. The event offers two options: a 6-hour or 4-hour challenge, where runners can complete as many laps as possible within the time limit, making it suitable for all levels—from first-time 5k runners to ultra-marathoners.
The race provides aid stations every lap, straightforward logistics, and a bespoke finisher medal. Parking is available on-site for a fee, and the event encourages bringing personal hydration due to its cupless policy. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
