FIELD & FOREST ULTRA
ABOUT
This is a 34-mile Ultra-trail marathon that uses the tracks, trails, and lanes throughout this part of the country including 3 long-distance footpaths. There are minor roads to navigate from the start. The course takes in the beautiful West Suffolk countryside before taking in the charm of the Norfolk woodlands which form part of Thetford Forest at West Harling Woods (Thorpe Forest holiday park) before returning to the big skies and wide-open spaces of Suffolk. This event is not an overly technical route, there will be some markers for ease of navigation, however, YOU will be required to use your own navigational skills and aids. We ask you to download what3words app to help with navigation.
This is a fantastic 1st-time challenge for those wanting to enter the world of ultra-distance running. However, all participants need to have a level of fitness appropriate to this distance and it is the participant's responsibility to undertake the necessary training to achieve this event.
