The Birthday Run
This event celebrates the anniversary of the organizing group at Billingford Lakes and Country Park. Participants can choose from a wide range of distances held on a trail course that includes tarmac paths, grasslands, and rugged trails. The event is structured around timed periods, offering both a 4-hour and a 6-hour window for completion.
The available distances include:
- 5 km
- 10 km
- 15 km
- Half Marathon
- Heavy Half Marathon (consisting of 5 laps, with options for 6 or 7)
- Full Marathon
- Ultra Marathon (standard 9 laps, with options for up to 12 laps)
An aid station is located at the base camp, providing participants with refreshments during the run. This is a cupless event, and individuals are required to bring their own cups or bottles for refilling at the station to reduce waste. Upon completing their chosen distance, participants receive a bespoke medal or can choose a "Lucky Dip" option from previous events. The entry also includes complimentary coffee, cake, and on-site parking at the venue.
The event is open to various age groups depending on the distance, with the 5 km open to those 14 and over, the 10 km for those 17 and over, and all longer distances restricted to participants aged 18 and over. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
