WTF - Where's The Finish?
This is a lapped running event held at Brandon Country Park in the heart of Thetford Forest. The course uses a 5.3 km lap that follows gravel footpaths and some grass areas, making it a multi terrain route. The event is offered in two time formats; participants run as far as they can within the allotted time and may rest between laps.
Distances that can be recorded include:
- 5k official distance
- 10k official distance
- Half Marathon
- Full Marathon
- Ultra Marathon distances
A half marathon is typically five laps with the option to change to six or seven laps on the day. An ultra is typically nine laps with the option to increase toward twelve laps if time allows. Race HQ and the aid station are located at the start and lap point so runners pass the base camp each lap. There is minimal navigation and no mandatory kit, and an aid station is available each lap.
Logistics include a marshal-assisted car park with chargeable parking, a race registration area to collect bibs, and a baggage space left at the owners risk. Participants receive a bespoke event medal unless they selected a lucky dip finisher medal. The event is cupless so participants should bring their own bottles or cups. Virtual entries are available for those unable to attend in person. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
