Route information

Ooops I Ran It Again...who hasn't completed a race, sworn they will never run again and then booked onto another one the following day! I think most of us are probably guilty of this, so come and join us for our Britney inspired event which you would be "Crazy" to miss and will leave you feeling "Stronger" than ever once you have completed it! We will be "Lucky" to have you! Feel free to dress up in your favourite Britney inspired outfit too!

All abilities are welcome at our super-inclusive events and we also welcome walkers too.

The course is around the beautiful Dare Valley Country Park on well maintained paths. There are lovely views of the surrounding country side making this an interesting course to run. We have a fantastic route that is all on well maintained footpaths so is perfect for a road trainer.

The regular course is subject to some change near the time of the event depending on our health and safety review of the course.

What's included

Distance & Time: This is a 7 hour 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 7 hour 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.

Medals: As long as you complete 5km, you will be an official finisher and you will receive one of our fantastic themed medals!

Goody Bag: Absolutely! You earned the calories after all, so all our finishers get a goody bag. As well as our standard goody bag, with a selection of various goodies to choose from, we also have a fabulous vegan goody bag for our vegan runners.

Distance Pins: We have distance pins available for anyone who runs a half-marathon distance or more. Pins available to collect are our Half-Marathon, Mega-Half, Marathon, 50km and Ultra pins. You will receive one pin on the ribbon of your medal to reflect your achievement.
