Ferry Meadows country park | Peterborough, EN

Ferry Meadows is one of the largest country parks in the region. Situated less than three miles from Peterborough City Centre, at the heart of Nene Park, its varied landscapes make it the favourite destination for thousands of visitors throughout the year.
Remembrance Run is a 6-hour event (if you have a 9 am start) or a 4-hour event (if you 11 am start), run as far as you can during the six hours and a little bit more if you're lucky, as long as you are leaving the Base Camp by 5:59:59 you get to run another lap, we have a 5.3k lap throughout the forest consisting of gravel footpaths and some grass areas - a multi-terrain course.
You can run as much or as little as you want to, you can rest between laps if you like and head out for some more.
You may be completing your first official 5k,10k, Half Marathon, Full Marathon or even ultra-marathon, or it may be your 100th or 1000th.
This race is also ideal for those who want to try and achieve a Marathon distance and for those who also want the option to push a little further, possibly an ultra but without the complications of trail ultras, with next to no navigation, no kit required, an aid station every lap and straightforward logistics.
Parking is chargeable at the park. From the toilets and the parking payment machines, you will see our start arch and gazebos.

On the day
We will be based in the Lakeside Centre on the Watersports side of the park.
You will see our Zig Zag Gazebos from the car park. Head towards the gazebos and then you will see the Lakeside Centre where registration will be based. At registration you will collect your bib numbers.
The Race HQ/Base Camp is located at the start and Lap point we will have our water/aid station.
The terrain consists of country park footpaths and grass areas. Our suggestion is to wear road trainers, but depending on the weather before the event you may want to bring trails if you have them but not essential.
We have designed a Bespoke medal for the event, which you will receive at the end of the race. (Unless you have chosen the Finisher Medal Option. You will receive a medal but it will not be specific to the event)
We will have virtual spaces available for anyone who wants the run for the medal but cannot make the event date. These are available direct from the shop on our Zig Zag Running website.
If you are running at 11am there will be a 2-minute race freeze.
