The event has a seven-hour cut off and a maximum of 100 entrants. Minimum age to enter is 18 years. Entries close on 21/08/2026 and transfer windows close on 14/08/2026. Parking is included in the entry price. The event has gone cupless, so participants must bring their own bottles or cups for refilling.
Course and facilities
The half marathon route is a loop; a marathon is two loops of that route. The 5k and 10k use the Goldings Hill route as an out-and-back. The course is entirely on road and pavement, described as mainly flat with a few rises, and passes through older roads and Suffolk villages and countryside.
Aid stations with drinks and light snacks are provided approximately every 10 km. Race headquarters and base camp are located at the start and lap point and include an aid station. Finishers receive a bespoke event medal or, if available, a lucky dip finisher medal selected from previous designs. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
