Celebrate the 50th anniversary of the iconic Rocky film with a unique running challenge that caters to all levels and abilities. Whether you're up for a casual stroll or pushing yourself towards an ultra marathon, this inclusive event welcomes everyone who shares a passion for fitness. Set in Northampton's scenic Washlands, runners will have access to well-maintained paths and trails as they embark on their journey. The route offers flexibility with a 7-hour time limit, allowing participants to set their own pace and distance goals within the rules of UK Athletics. From a minimum of 3km up to an ultra marathon that exceeds 50km, there's something for every runner. Members can enjoy special perks such as discounted entry fees and exclusive mini-medal pins at each event they attend. For non-members, the lowest entry price is available by joining Saturn Too Limited’s membership program right from your profile page. UK Athletics affiliated club members also receive a £2 discount on their registration fee. Upon completion of 3km or more, all finishers will be awarded an impressive themed medal that commemorates this Rocky-themed event. Additional distance pins are available for those who complete half-marathons and beyond, celebrating milestones like the marathon, mega-half, ultra runs, and even a special 50km badge. The aid stations at the start/finish area provide runners with essential hydration and nourishment throughout their run or walk. You can expect an array of drinks alongside snacks such as crisps, cheese, fruit, cookies, and vegan options to cater to all dietary needs. In addition to the medal and pins, every finisher will receive a goody bag filled with treats earned through your hard work on race day. Whether you’re looking for standard or vegan-friendly goodies, there’s something in store for everyone. If this event marks a special occasion for you – be it reaching a milestone like your 50th run or completing a half-marathon distance – let the organizers know ahead of time to receive personalized recognition with an official running number and date badge. While changing facilities are not available on-site, there will be toilets provided at the venue. Limited parking is offered near the event location; however, nearby paid car parks may also serve as alternatives for those who need them. Race day instructions along with detailed information about number pick-up will be sent via email in the week leading up to the event date. Be sure to arrive early on race morning to complete registration and get ready for your challenge!
