Join us for a 5K or 10K trail run following footpaths and byways in a loop around Sapiston and Honington in and around Suffolk’s picturesque Black Bourn Valley. The routes are a mix of road and off road but, as the 10K also crosses a few roads, we do not consider it suitable for runners under the age of 16. Under 16s are welcome to take part in the 5K, but they must run with an adult as there are a couple of minor road crossings and a riverside section to contend with. We will have volunteer marshals based at various checkpoints around both routes, and a water station half way round the 10K. There will be a tail runner/walker following both routes to make sure everyone returns safely.Registration opens at 11am. There’ll 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. Sorry, but these aren’t suitable for running buggies. Headphones are allowed, but please remove them on the on-road sections. Sorry, no dogs. There will be free hot and cold drinks in the Village Hall, a bag drop and toilets, and bespoke medals for all finishers.
There is car parking at the Village Hall where the event starts and finishes, but please car share if you can to help reduce potential disturbance to those living nearby.
If you have any questions please email [email protected].
We are proud to be working with our partners, the Brecks Landscape Partnership and Suffolk County Council’s Rights of Way and Access Team, to help introduce people to local landscapes and rights of way they may not have visited before.
