Come start the Easter break with a lovely run around the Suffolk Countryside.
It's a six-hour event, starting at 9am to run as far as you can during the time.

You can run as much or little as you want to, you can rest between laps if you like and head out for some more.
You may be completing your first official 5k,10k, Half Marathon, Full Marathon or even ultra-Marathon, or it may be your 100th or 1000th.
This race is also ideal for those who want to try and achieve a Marathon distance and for those who also want the option to push a little further.
