About the Event

Explore the scenic trails of Newnham Estate with the return of the Newnham 8 Miler and Newnham 4 Miler, set for an early evening run this year. Nestled on the outskirts of Plymouth, these races offer runners a unique opportunity to traverse a private estate known for its serene beauty.
The event features two distinct distances: the challenging yet manageable 8 Miler (covering two laps) and the invigorating 4 Miler (one lap). Both courses are designed to cater to those seeking an alternative distance beyond the standard 5K or 10K, providing a perfect stepping stone for runners looking to increase their endurance. Ideal for individuals training for longer races like half marathons or full marathons in autumn, these routes offer both scenic beauty and varied terrain.
Canicross enthusiasts are also welcome to join this event, adding an extra layer of excitement and camaraderie among participants. Registration opens at 5:30 PM, with the race starting promptly at 6:30 PM, allowing runners ample time to familiarize themselves with the course layout before setting off under the twilight sky.
All proceeds from the races will be directed towards supporting Bowel Cancer West, making your participation not only a personal achievement but also a significant contribution to a worthy cause. Whether you're looking for a new challenge or simply enjoy running in picturesque settings, the Newnham 8 Miler and 4 Miler promise an unforgettable evening of sport and community engagement.
Join us at the stunning grounds of Newnham Estate this autumn and experience the unique blend of scenic beauty and athletic endeavor.
