The Lucky Horseshoe 

Come and join us at our exclusive venue at Suffolk Running Centre, Church Road, Bury St Edmunds, IP29 5AX

It's a seven-hour cut off with a mass start at 9am for all distances.

Your race, your pace, your distance!    

This race offers you a number of distance choices - 5k, 10k, Half, Full or Ultra    

Route description:
21.1 km (13.1 mi) · out-and-back from the campsite · 60% road / 40% trail · 126 m of climb · high 108 m / low 41 m.

Its a sociable out and back route meaning;

Those doing a half will head out to the half turnpoint and trace their steps back to Suffolk Running Centre
Those doing a full marathon will go out and back twice
Those doing an ultra marathon will go out and back twice, plus add either the 5k turnpoint or 10k turnpoint option.

Those opting for a 5k or 10k will head to the relevant 5k/10k turnpoint markers and then head back to base.

A GPX file can be downloaded from the "course" tab.

This route is an out and back, making it a very social route.    


There will be an aid station of drinks and nibbles every 10k.

Parking is also included in your entry price.     

The Race HQ/Base Camp is located at the start and Lap point and at the base camp we will have our water/aid station.

We have designed a Bespoke medal for the event, which you will receive at the end of the race.   Or if you choose the lucky dip finisher option (if available), you will choose from a selection of previous or finisher medal.
