BIRTHDAY RUN
Zig Zag Running is 6 years old this month so why not come along and celebrate with us. We promise there will be lots of cake. 


LOCATION: Billingford Lakes and Country Park, NR20 4RG

With start times at 9AM (6-hour event) and 11AM (4-hour event), you’ll have plenty of time to enjoy the stunning route, push your limits, and, of course, earn your race bling! Once you cross the finish line, reward yourself with a complimentary coffee and cake while soaking in the atmosphere.

An aid station will be conveniently located at base camp, so there's no need to carry excess food or water—just focus on your run and enjoy the journey!

Entry Perks & Course Details

  • Parking is included in your race entry—no extra hassle.
  • All finishers will receive a bespoke medal for the event. Opt for the Lucky Dip option (if available), and you can choose from a selection of previous medals.
  • The course is a trail run, featuring a mix of tarmac paths, grasslands, and rugged trails—perfect for those who love a bit of variety!

Important Race Reminder:

THIS EVENT IS CUPLESS – Please bring your own cups or bottles for refilling at the aid station to help reduce waste and support eco-friendly running!

Whether you're aiming for a personal best, embracing the scenery, or simply here for the camaraderie, this race promises an unforgettable experience.
