We hope you all had a fantastic time today.
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: 6.55m out and back along the Mount Barrow Course. Possibly the toughest of our courses with heavy uphills. You were all incredible. If you can do it here you can do it anywhere.
Congratulations to Nomi Hallam who completed her epic 200th Full Marathon today and thanks for the bottle openers.
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 – Next weekend we are off for our first visit to High Lodge where we are hosting Thetford Festival of Running. The event medal is SOLD OUT but you can still come along under the lucky dip option. Entries will close on Friday 20th February at 9am if not sooner.
If you like this venue (Suffolk Running Centre), we are next back here on Good Friday, 3rd April, for the Easter Challenge.
Don't forget we 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 a different venue.
Next Years Event - if you enjoyed todays event, Valentines Challenge will be back on Sunday 14th February next year. It will be launched soon. Look out for an email. The course next year will be changed out to Goldings Hills.
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, updated course records and a copy of the upcoming events diary. Congratulations to all those that took a course record considering todays elevation!
Until the next run
Best wishes
Stephen & Zoe
