If you fancy joining Rudolph and his friends just before Christmas to bank some pre-festive mileage, why not join us at the anniversary of our sold out Reindeer run, a Marathon & 6hr challenge event that we plan on returning to the Flitchway in Rayne.
Stretching for 15 miles through the Essex countryside between Braintree and Bishops Stortford is The Flitch Way. It is the site of the original Bishops Stortford to Braintree Branch line, a single-track railway, and was opened in 1869 and finally closed in 1969. Nowadays it is an important place for wildlife, and a perfect place for your next running achievement, whatever your chosen distance!
Mostly up or down, and sometimes almost flat, traffic-free, out and back course on the hard-packed trail, will give you the opportunity to run as many or as few laps as you wish, within the time limit of 6 hours. The loops will be 5.3km in distance and so you will need to do 4 for a half marathon, 8 laps to cover full marathon distance, and then if you choose to continue, the clock will be your only limiting factor!
