Join Run Breckland for a 5K trail run following footpaths and byways in a loop around Sapiston and Honington in Suffolk’s picturesque Black Bourn Valley.
The route is a mix of road and off-road and, as it also crosses a few minor roads and follows a short section of the Black Bourn river, any runners under the age of 16 must run within an arm’s length of a responsible adult. We will have volunteer marshals based at various checkpoints around the route, but they are not allowed to assist you at road crossings. We will have a water station half way round and a tail runner/walker following on to make sure everyone returns safely.
There will be a mass start at noon, and the runners will be chip timed around this undulating and mixed terrain comprising sand, stones, grass, tarmac, woodland tracks and fields. There’ll also be a few gates to negotiate (please close any gates behind you).
Depending on the weather, there may be a few tricky parts e.g. mud and puddles, but there’ll be no cut off time so there’s no need to feel you have to rush.
There will be free hot and cold drinks in the Village Hall, a bag drop and toilets, and bespoke medals for all finishers.
Headphones are allowed, but please remove them on the on-road sections.
Sorry, but this one isn’t suitable for running buggies or dogs.
When: Sunday 19th October
