Hosted by Zig Zag Running, this event uses a 5.3 km out-and-back lap with start times from 09:00 (longer events) and an additional later wave noted for shorter options, making it easy to pace your day and enjoy the atmosphere. Expect a variety of trail surfaces—from hard paths to grassy and rougher sections—with low overall elevation, ideal for steady efforts or first-time trail racers. The venue hub at Billingford Lakes includes on-site parking, a base-camp aid station (cupless), and post-race coffee & cake for all finishers. Distances span from 5K up to a 6-hour Ultra, plus the quirky Heavy Half, so there’s something for every runner.
