Windmill Way Wander
Windmill Way Wander is a road running event based at the Suffolk Running Centre, Church Road, Bury St Edmunds, IP29 5AX. The event offers a seven hour cut off and a five hour option for a later start.
Participants can choose from multiple distances:
- 5k out-and-back
- 10k out-and-back
- Half marathon one loop
- Full marathon two loops
- Ultra marathon to the 5k turnaround then back
Those running less than a half marathon follow an out-and-back route with a required turnaround. The route uses the Windmill Way and Golding Hills and passes through the villages of Higham, Gazeley, Ashley, Dalham and Denham. The course is all on road, with rolling hills and total elevation around 600 ft. The event is named for the windmill visible at Dalham and offers views of Dalham Hall along the route.
Aid stations offering drinks and snacks are provided approximately every 10 km. Race HQ and the base camp are located at the start and lap point and include a water and aid station. Parking is included in the entry price. The event has a cupless policy so participants should bring their own bottle or cup. Finishers receive a bespoke event medal or may choose a lucky dip finisher medal option if available. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
