ZigZag - Windmill Way Wander
The Windmill Way Wander is scheduled for Saturday 16 January 2027 at the Suffolk Running Centre, Church Road, Bury St Edmunds, IP29 5AX. The event uses the Windmill Way route and is organised with a mass start and a seven hour cutoff.
Distance options include:
- 5k
- 10k
- Half marathon
- Marathon
- Ultra
Routes are entirely on road and feature rolling hills with approximately 600 ft of elevation gain. Shorter distances under a half marathon use an out-and-back format with a turnaround point. The half marathon is one loop, the marathon is two loops, and the ultra extends to the 5k turnaround for additional distance. The course passes through the villages of Higham, Gazeley, Ashley, Dalham and Denham, and includes a view of the windmill at Dalham.
Support and logistics include an aid station with drinks and nibbles every 10 km, a Race HQ/Base Camp at the start and lap point with a water/aid station, and parking included with entry. The event has gone cupless so participants should bring their own bottles or cups for refilling. Entries are capped at 300, entries close 15/01/2027, and the minimum age is 18. Participants receive an email confirmation with a link to the race briefing pack. Finishers receive a bespoke medal or may choose a lucky dip medal option where available.
