We hope you all had a fantastic time today. This was our first outing at High Lodge and its a lovely venue to host an event.
It was so nice to meet so many of you for the first time and it was also so nice to see so many familiar faces - we welcome all of you to the Zig Zag Family!
Today's event Route: 5.3km loops (we are calling this the t-shirt route) through Thetford Forest. A truly flat course for us at Zig Zag Running!
Congratulations to Nomi Hallam who completed her 201st Full Marathon today and thanks for the bottle openers. This was after she successfully completed her 200th last week and had this one on the reserves in the event of any unforeseen.
Shout out also to Paul Sadler for completing his 99th (flake) Marathon and to Elaine Gray for her 99th (flake) Half Marathon.
Thank you also to Ruth and Matt for sharing their birthday with us - we hope you enjoyed your day!
Our thanks to Forestry England for letting us use this lovely venue. They have asked if you could consider leaving a review on this venue. There is a chance to win a Forestry England Membership (Free parking) and some other bits of benefit to runners!
Marshals and Support: Once again we would like to extend our gratitude to all the brilliant marshals who ensured a smooth and fun experience for everyone. Their commitment to making this event enjoyable for all participants is remarkable.
Pictures and Memories: Remember to check out the amazing pictures captured during today's run! They will be uploaded to our Zig Zag running group on Facebook. Feel free to tag yourself and your friends to share the moments.
What's Next – We have a few weeks off now but the next week back is Saturday 21st March for Moo-rathon, Calf and Hen K at Hyde Hall Farm. The event medal is sold out but you can join via lucky dip. Entries will close for this one on Thursday 19th March at 9am.
If you like this venue (High Lodge), we are next back here in the autumn for FEAR on Sunday 6th September and then in December for Twas the Run.
Don't forget we do usually have events most weekends at different locations so please do take the time to look at the attached diary and see if there is another location you fancy trying.
Next Years Event - if you enjoyed today's event, Thetford Festival Of Running will be back on Sunday 21st February next year. It will be launched soon. Look out for an email.
Discounts all year, not just Black Friday - If you book 3 or more events at any one time using this link https://zigzagrunning.eventrac.co.uk by yourself or with others, you will start receiving discounts off your in-person events bookings.
The medals have been ordered up to mid July so Event places are locked in so don't leave it too long to book your space if you have your eye on a specific piece of bling.
Below you'll find the results from today, the course records and a copy of the upcoming events diary. Congratulations to all those that took a course record, setting the bar for the future events!
Until the next run
Best wishes
Stephen & Zoe
