The Headstock Run | 3rd July 2022
About the event
The Headstock Run will take place at the beautiful Gedling County park in Nottingham. You’ll be taking on the undulating hills of the local area, and travel through its history from coal mines to a solar farm. As always with our events, you may attempt to complete as many laps as possible over the full six hours, or you may choose to finish just one, either way, you will be a finisher and receive your bespoke medal and goody bag.
You’ll be able to pick up your race number on the morning of the event at the aid station/start line from 10am. The park will be open from sunrise but please be aware that Junior Park run will be in session before us on Sunday morning, hence the later than normal start time. They are due to be finished by 9.30 and then we need to set up race HQ, please do not arrive at the HQ before 10am as it will not yet be set up by that point. The event will begin at 10:30 and run until 16:30.
There is a time limit of 6 hours for this event. This means that you need to have completed your final lap before the end of the 6 hours for it to be counted towards your final distance. Each lap will be around 5.33km long with a total elevation gain of 232 meters of elevation for each loop. This means that if you complete 4 laps you have run a half marathon, 8 laps, a full marathon and 9 laps or more will be classed as an Ultra. You can finish your event at any time within the six hours, and as long as you have completed one lap then you will be classed as a finisher.

Organiser
After five years of organizing successful virtual events solely for charity fundraising, I decided to start putting on events for everyone to take part in at any point. Aiming to focus more on the community, the event itself, and, just as importantly, the medals. I didn’t like how many virtual events only really offer a medal in an envelope at the as the only connection after you’ve entered. I wanted to create an experience from the moment you sign up until you open your medal box at home!
Your medal will be large, bespoke, and beautiful, none of these tiny things. It won’t just be popped in an envelope with a flyer but beautifully hand packed in a small box with some extra goodies for you.
Now it is pretty hard to create every event as a large interactive event whilst working a separate full-time job, so, there will be some standard “run and submit” events thrown into the mix. But I have so many exciting ideas for virtual events that people have not seen before and I cannot wait to have you all take part over the next year!
My constant aim with Rasselbock is to try and connect people from all over the world and help them hit their own personal goals, whilst creating fun and different events for everyone. That alongside creating unique events and some awesome bling of cause.
