Ooops I Ran It Again - North
This is a Britney themed 7 hour Time Challenge held at Herrington Country Park in New Herrington, Houghton-le-Spring on 19 July 2026. The event takes place on public footpaths inside the park; the final route will be confirmed a few weeks before the event.
Participants choose how many laps to run within the seven hour window. The minimum distance to be an official finisher is 3 km. A full lap is listed as 7 km (4.37 miles) but may change to a 3.28 mile loop depending on course conditions. A 3 km turn point and a 5 km turn point are provided inside the lap to help comply with UK Athletics age rules. Laps to common distances are noted: three laps for a half marathon, six for a marathon and seven or more for an ultra; a 50 km option is available.
Medals are awarded to all finishers who complete at least 3 km and include a Britney theme. Distance pins are given for half-marathon and longer distances and are attached to the medal ribbon. Finishers receive a goody bag with a vegan option available on request.
There is an aid and drinks table at the start/finish of each lap with sweet and savoury snacks and vegan choices. Toilets are available inside the venue HQ. Pay and display parking is available nearby; parking is not permitted in the rowing club car park. Number pick up is on race day at registration. A nonsecure bag drop is provided. Headphones are allowed. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
