About the Event

The 24-Hour Multi-Lap Challenge invites endurance runners to push their limits on a meticulously designed course. Each lap covers approximately 5.56 miles, allowing participants ample opportunity for strategic pacing and recovery throughout the grueling duration.
Set against the backdrop of an historic site known as the Lists area—once home to jousting tournaments—the event offers both scenic beauty and rich cultural heritage. The well-marked and marshalled course ensures that navigation is straightforward even in low light conditions, making it accessible for runners at all levels.
Participants have the flexibility to arrive either on Friday evening or Saturday morning to set up their designated campsite within the sprawling grounds of the venue. This setup period allows competitors time to acclimate before the official start at noon on Saturday. The Lists area, centrally located and steeped in tradition, serves as both a starting point and focal hub for the event.
With its relatively flat terrain, this challenge is designed to test endurance rather than mountainous climbs or technical terrains. Runners are encouraged to embrace the historic atmosphere while pushing their physical boundaries over 24 hours of racing.
