Zig Zag Running - St Andrews Day Challenge

The St Andrews Day Challenge, organized by Zig Zag Running, takes place at Brandon Country Park in Suffolk, nestled within Thetford Forest. This multi-terrain event features a 5.3 km loop of gravel footpaths and grass areas. Participants can choose between a 6-hour or 4-hour timed challenge, running as many laps as possible within the time limit, making it suitable for all levels—from first-time 5k runners to ultra-marathoners.

The course offers straightforward logistics with aid stations every lap and no navigation required. Runners receive a bespoke medal, and virtual participation is available. Parking is available on-site for a fee, and the event encourages bringing personal hydration bottles due to its cupless policy. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
