Event Format
The Thetford 24 Hour event is a non-stop timed run on a route in Thetford Forest. Participants can enter as solo runners, same-sex or mixed pairs, or teams of up to four. The event includes three time limits: 6 hours, 12 hours, and 24 hours. The objective is to complete as many laps as possible within the chosen time limit, with only full laps counting. Participants must be 18 or older.
The Route and Setup
The route is the flat, fast, and scenic Backyard loop. A designated transition or handover zone allows participants to swap timing chips for team members, visit the food tent, or rest. There is a strict rule that only one runner per team may be on the course at any time.
On-Site Facilities
A basic food tent provides hot and cold drinks and snacks throughout the event, with additional vendors available a short walk away at High Lodge during its opening hours. Portable toilets are provided, with extra facilities nearby. Free camping is available on-site, where participants can set up a small tent or gazebo. Stoves or fires are not permitted.
Practical Information
Parking is available for a discounted fee if booked in advance. There is no power on site, so participants are advised to bring power banks. The event is timed by Timing Monkey. Total entries are capped at 150 solo runners, pairs, or teams. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
