Rocket around the Running Track |
About the event
This 12-hour rocket challenge will definitely test your physical and mental strength. Run as far as you would like around the track over 12 hours to earn your finisher's medal. As the night draws in, expect to see some local fireworks being set off for a unique bonfire night experience.
Traverse this flat course to see if you could be the next track star. All entrants will be running around a 400m athletics track for the whole 12-hour duration of the event. Aim for whatever distance you would like over the 12 hour period, for example, if you would like to run a marathon you will have to run 105 laps. This race will put your running ability to the test so make sure you're ready for this great firework festival of running.
