About this event

Set on a former airfield near Saffron Walden, this event offers something refreshingly different — racing on smooth tarmac where planes once landed. The route follows the old runways in a distinctive plane-shaped layout, completely flat and traffic-free with gentle curves instead of sharp turns. Trees surrounding the airfield typically keep the wind at bay, creating surprisingly calm conditions for a fast course. Both distances share the same welcoming atmosphere, with supportive marshals and a relaxed vibe that works whether runners are chasing times or simply enjoying the unusual setting. Finishers collect custom medals and snacks, plus complimentary race photos to remember the day.
