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:
42.2 km (26.2 mi) · out and back from the campsite · 65% road / 35% trail · 337 m of climb · high 108 m / low 37 m.

You start on the familiar lanes through Denham and Dalham, but the middle third takes you out onto the Newmarket gallops and heath — that's where the trail comes in, around a third of the whole route. It's a proper mix: quiet tarmac to get out and back, open off-road through the horse country in the middle. 

The 5k, 10k and half marathon will turn at the relevant points and retrace their steps along the route. 

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

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

The marathon will be one full loop (out and back), and all other distances will have turnaround points.     

We will be utilising the Gallops Route (for ALL routes) meaning there will be a turn point for all distances under the Ultra.  If you plan to do the Ultra you will run the full out and back marathon route and then run back out to the 5k or 10k turn.

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.

No dogs or buggies are allowed on this route due to the roads being open for traffic.

No headphones are permitted except bone conductors due to the open roads.
