About the race
Big Bear Events' Squirrel Challenge happens at Daventry Country Park, NN11 2JB (Welton Road). The format centers on a 3.3-mile off-road loop, largely on new crushed-stone paths (about 80% runnable) with the final route to be decided in autumn to incorporate new park sections. In a 6-hour window, participants may run as many 5k laps as they wish—eight laps for a marathon, four for a half.
The atmosphere is sociable and inclusive, with options to hike or canicross with dogs (short leads required). On-site facilities include a large car park, café and toilets. Finishers receive medals or a Tree Token, plus a Roald Dahl Charity contribution option. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
