The Other Run
The Other Run is a multi-distance road event on 25 April 2027 at the Suffolk Running Centre, Church Road, Bury St Edmunds, IP29 5AX. It offers several distance choices from the same venue.
- 5 km
- 10 km
- 21.1 km (half marathon)
- 42.2 km (marathon)
The marathon uses the Kirtling Route: a measured, single-loop course of 42.2 km, fully on road (99% on the map, 1% within the campsite), with about 360 m of climb and recorded high and low points of 123 m and 35 m. The route is described as rolling with mild undulation and a significant climb in the closing miles.
The half marathon follows the Windmill Route, a 21.1 km loop on road with approximately 217 m of climb and recorded high and low points of 109 m and 49 m. Turnaround points are provided for the 5k and 10k options. A GPX file for the courses is made available.
Support and facilities noted for the event include aid stations with drinks and snacks approximately every 10 km, parking included with entry, a bespoke finisher medal or a lucky dip finisher option, and a purchasable event T-shirt. The event operates cupless so no disposable cups are supplied. Dogs and buggies are not permitted on the route; headphones are restricted to bone conductor types. The marathon distance may be used to seek a marathon GFA place. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
