Easter Challenge

Easter Challenge invites runners of all abilities to explore the scenic Suffolk countryside on Easter weekend. Set at the Suffolk Running Centre, this six-hour endurance run offers participants an opportunity to cover as much distance as they can along a 10.7 km loop that combines both road and trail sections.
The course features a mix of terrain with approximately half being paved roads and the other half rugged trails. The route ascends gradually throughout its length before finishing with a challenging uphill climb, providing runners with varied scenery and elevation changes to keep them engaged for hours on end.
Participants can choose how much they want to run—whether it's their first 5k or an attempt at completing a marathon distance over the six-hour period. The event encourages flexibility; rest between laps is welcome as you enjoy the picturesque Suffolk landscape.
Upon arrival, parking assistance will direct runners to Race Registration where bib numbers are collected. A baggage area near the start line allows for secure storage of personal items during the run.
Water and aid stations positioned at the Base Camp provide essential hydration throughout your journey. Runners are advised to bring their own reusable bottles or cups as part of the event's eco-friendly initiative.
A bespoke medal awaits all finishers, commemorating this unique Easter adventure through Suffolk’s rolling hills and quiet trails. Virtual participation options are also available for those who wish to earn a finisher medal but cannot attend in person.

This Easter Challenge promises an unforgettable running experience amidst the beauty of Suffolk’s natural landscapes, catering perfectly for both casual joggers looking to enjoy a scenic run and serious endurance athletes aiming to push their limits.
