Join us for the return to The Flitch Way at Rayne in 2023 for the anniversary of our very first H&T event six years ago! FIVE entry options for this event in 2023. In addition to the marathon and 6hr timed event, we have a 5km, 10km and Half Marathon option for you. One loop of 5km is all you need to be a finisher and earn that bespoke H&T medal and goody bag!
There is a new route update – you can choose which way you want to run after every loop of 5km! We will have two courses marked out for 5km loops in either direction! You can run the same loop only or run them alternately and make it a 10km loop with and aid station at 5km every time.
Not been able to get to a race when the medal was too much bling to miss? Here is your chance to choose the medal that you have your eye on from one of our previous events.
There are two difficult decisions at this event, which way to go next, and which medal to choose from a selection of our bespoke medals!
You can expect a supercharged aid station with all the usual H&T trimmings at the end of every 5km loop.
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.. The loops will be 5.3km in distance and so you will need to do 2 for a 10km, 4 for a half marathon, 8 laps to cover full marathon distance, and then if you choose to continue in the 6hr event, the clock will be your only limiting factor!
