The Event Starts and finishes near to the clubhouse

Under UKA & ECCU rules

PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE IS NO PARKING AT THE CLUBHOUSE

The race starts (10:00am) flattish for the first 5 miles or so but the course becomes progressively more difficult - so those who charge into the Forest, eyeballs out, from the start, may regret it later! The race takes its course through the ancient bridle paths and tracks of Epping Forest, taking in some testing climbs not usually found in the ‘flat’ county of Essex. We anticipate welcoming back the many runners who return year after year, but we also look forward to seeing those who are trying this long-established race for the first time. The race always throws up some interesting conditions, whatever the weather – will there be snow this time, like there was two years ago for the first time in the race’s history? Now, THAT was tough! There is a lot more information on our website.
