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.
