About The Event
Ooops I Ran It Again...who hasn't completed a race, sworn they will never run again and then booked onto another one the following day! I think most of us are probably guilty of this, so come and join us for our Britney inspired event which you would be "Crazy" to miss and will leave you feeling "Stronger" than ever once you have completed it! We will be "Lucky" to have you! Feel free to dress up in your favourite Britney inspired outfit too!
All abilities are welcome at our super-inclusive events and we also welcome walkers too.

Distance & Time
This is a 7 hour Time Challenge event which allows you full control over the distance you want to run. The minimum distance is 3km, which is part of a lap. A full lap is 4.37 miles or 7km (this is subject to change to a 3.28 mile loop depending on course conditions) and you can run as many, or as few, of these laps as you like subject to UK athletics age restrictions (please see the restrictions below). We will have a 3k turn point and 5k turn point within the lap which is available to allow our younger runners to comply with the UK Athletics distance rules. It is 3 laps for a half marathon, 6 for a marathon and 7 or over for an ultra, we also have a 50km distance available.
Course
The course is within Herrington Country park and the final route will be announced a few weeks prior to the event.
Medals & Pins
As long as you complete 3km, you will be an official finisher and you will get one of our incredible Britney themed medals!
We also have distance pins available for anyone who runs a half-marathon distance or more. Pins available to collect are our Half-Marathon, Mega-Half, Marathon, 50km and Ultra pins. You will receive one pin on the ribbon of your medal to reflect your achievement.
Goody Bag
Absolutely! You have earned these replacement calories after all, so all our finishers get a great goody bag. You will have a selection of goodies to choose from. As well as our standard goody bag, we have a vegan goody bag too. Please let us know if you are vegan or if you prefer a vegan goody bag when you enter and we can have this ready for you.
Aid Table
We have a fantastic aid table and drinks table at the start / finish of each lap. There is an incredible selection of drinks and savoury or sweet snacks such as crisps, cheese, fruit and cookies with vegan options also available.
