A winter trail running treat
Formerly called The Wellingborough Multi Terrain Series, we are pleased to offer this two round multi Terrain run at Irchester Country Park with a choice of 3 distances: 5, 10 or 15K
Whether you’re looking for a multi terrain fun run, take your parkrun off road, want to practice the run leg of your triathlon, or run a serious race in some stunning surrounds, then the varied terrain of the Jurassic Irchester Country Park in Northamptonshire is ideal. It doesn’t matter what ability level you are as you have the choice of 5km, 10km, or 15km . The course for all 3 distances is the same – with the 5km runners completing 1 lap, the 10km runners 2 laps, and the 15km runners 3 laps with everybody starting at the same time.
If you fancy a change from your parkrun, trying trail running, a step up from your usual 10k run or if you like things a little more…well dirty!
