Bimbling Plod invites runners and walkers of all ages and abilities to enjoy a leisurely trail experience on a charming private farm. While the recommended age is 13 years or older, families are welcome as long as adult supervision accompanies younger participants. The event offers an inclusive atmosphere where every pace is celebrated. The course winds through picturesque fields, dotted with wildflowers and crops, providing runners and walkers with a scenic backdrop to their journey. Dusty tracks add character to the terrain, ensuring that no matter your speed or skill level, you'll be surrounded by natural beauty throughout the one-lap route. Upon completion of the loop, participants will receive special goodies as a reward for their effort. Entry is limited due to the event's exclusive farm setting and intimate atmosphere, so early registration is advised to secure your spot in this unique adventure. The weekend also features other challenges such as a 5k run on Friday evening, followed by both solo and team endurance events over 24 hours or within a 12-hour window that night and into Saturday morning. On Sunday, two different Plod options are available: the longer Bumble Tad Plod starting at 9:00 AM and the shorter Bell & Bumble option beginning just fifteen minutes later, alongside an Apple Plod covering approximately 10k distance which kicks off at 10:30 AM. Each event promises a memorable day out in nature for all who attend. Please note that this event takes place with permission from the farm's owner and adheres to specific permit guidelines.
