Absolutely Love ZigZag events
The ZigZag team are really friendly and supportive of all runners. The event is well marshalled and ZigZag snack stops are incredible.
The friendliness and support from other runners on the course is really nice to recieve.
ZigZag have the best medals for finishers, really inventive and eye catching designs and never mind a banana and bottle of water at then end, ZigZag provide a decent slice of indulgent cake and a hot drink.
I highly recommend ZigZag running events and will be doing more in the future.

Had a really lovely time yesterday, the organisers were very friendly and supportive, giving a really positive atmosphere! The aid station and tea/coffeee/cake for after were a fantastic touch too! Can’t wait for my next one

Zig Zag do it again!
Another amazing event at Brandon Country Park this time. Always such a fun and friendly atmosphere and everyone is so supportive. They welcome everyone including beginners so don’t be afraid to make a zig zag race your first! Plus lots of yummy cake at the end and awesome medals
Some of the runs like todays are canicross friendly too which is amazing and we are so grateful for!

Excellent Event as always. Great organisation, atmosphere etc.
Lovely to see a young lad complete his first half marathon with his dad. He was chuffed to bits when I spoke to him afterwards.It shows zig zag accommodates everyone.

Christmas spirit in the sunshine
Always love these events in Brandon with the mix of forest and trails.
Marshalls and organisers make this event with their friendliness, support and smiles.
And always able to run your own pace, with no judgement, just encouragement from your fellow runners.
