About The Event
Join us for The Last Run Of The Year. If you've eaten one too many mince pies or you want to kick start a New Year's Resolution, then join us for The Last Run Of The Year. After the run we will have Pizza in the Last Hop from 2pm onwards, so if you are still running by then, then join us in a small celebration as we say goodbye to 2024 and hello to 2025.
All abilities are welcome at our super-inclusive events and we also welcome walkers too.
Distance & Time
This is a 7hr Time Challenge event which allows you full control over the distance you want to run. The minimum distance is 5km, which is part of a lap. A full lap is 4.37 miles (7km) and you can run as many or as few of these laps as you wish in the 7hr time limit which starts from the official event start time. It is 3 laps for a half marathon, 6 for a marathon and 7 or over for an ultra, we also have a 50km distance available.
