Zigzag - The Lucky Horseshoe

The Lucky Horseshoe is a versatile running event hosted at the Suffolk Running Centre in Bury St Edmunds, offering distances of 5k, 10k, half marathon, full marathon, and ultra marathon. The course features an out-and-back route along the Gallops and Golding Hills trails, passing through scenic areas including Newmarket, where runners may see racehorses in training. The marathon consists of a full loop, while shorter distances have turnaround points.

The event promotes a social atmosphere with a mass start and a seven-hour cutoff. Aid stations with drinks and snacks are available every 10k, and parking is included. Participants receive a bespoke finisher medal, with a cupless policy encouraging runners to bring their own hydration. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
