Course and logistics
The course is mainly pathway with short sections of trails and woodland. A water aid station is provided at the lap point. Heavy half marathons are set as 5 laps by default with an option to change to 6 or 7 laps on the day. Ultra marathons are set as 9 laps by default with the possibility of increasing up to 12 laps. The event is cup-less, so participants should bring their own cups or bottles. Parking is included and secure on site; organisers advise using postcode IP30 9RS and not the Haughley Park wedding venue. A parking attendant will direct vehicles and the way to race number collection.
Age and cut-offs
Minimum age requirements vary by distance: some events allow entrants aged 14 or 17, while others require entrants to be 18 or older. A six-hour event cut-off applies, with a shorter cut-off for later starts. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
