Zig Zag Marathon and Half Marathon
The event takes place on Sunday 9 May 2027 at Suffolk Running Centre, Church Road, Bury St Edmunds, IP29 5AX. It offers both a marathon and a half marathon on measured road routes.
The marathon uses the Kirtling Route, an officially measured, fully on road route described as mildly undulating and scenic. The half marathon uses the Windmill Route and is one loop. There is a seven hour cut off for the marathon. Aid stations with drinks and nibbles are provided approximately every 10k. The Race HQ or base camp is located at the start and lap point and includes an aid station. Parking is included in the entry price.
The routes are on quiet roads but participants should be aware of traffic when stepping out and are advised to wear bright clothing. The event has gone cupless so participants must bring their own bottles or cups for refilling. Only bone conductor headphones are allowed.
Entry is limited to 300 participants. Minimum age is 18 years. Entries close on 7 May 2027. The organiser publishes a transfers policy that allows transfers to other events and to other participants under specified time limits, and offers a virtual option with a 15 percent future-event credit in some late-notice cases.
