Returning on August 30, 2025, The Lucky Clover invites runners to tailor their challenge—choosing from 5 km, 10 km, half marathon, full marathon, or a 6‑hour ultra—on a shared loop course maintained by Zig Zag Running within the Suffolk Running Centre, north of Bury St Edmunds. The half and full marathon use the scenic Clover Half Route, while the 5 km and 10 km follow the Golding Hills out‑and‑back course, all terrain on road or paved surfaces with gentle undulations (approx. 600 ft total ascent) and a mass start at 09:00 AM. Aid stations providing snacks and hydration are placed approximately every 10 km, and the event implements a 7‑hour cutoff. Runners receive bespoke event medals—or may opt for a “lucky dip” medal to help reduce waste—and enjoy free parking, chip timing, refreshments, and a welcoming event village atmosphere.
