Returning on 17 August 2025, this established race—backed by DB Wood and now organised by RunThrough UK—features a chip-timed, road-closed half marathon widely loved for its potential to produce personal bests. The single-loop course begins at Hawton Road in Sconce & Devon Park and winds through picturesque villages including Hawton, East Stoke, Elston, and Thorpe, before ending back at the park. With water stations roughly every 5 km, unique themed medals, free race photos, and post-run goodies, the event delivers a polished and runner-friendly experience. All proceeds support the veteran charity Care after Combat, and sustainability efforts and community engagement are central to the festival-style race village.
