About the Event

The 24-hour multi-lap race invites endurance runners to explore a meticulously marked course that winds through scenic terrain. Each lap measures approximately 5.56 miles, making it easy for participants to track their progress and set personal goals.
Set up your campsite on either Friday evening or Saturday morning in the heart of the event area, known as the Lists—a historically significant spot where jousting tournaments once took place. The Lists serve as a central hub surrounded by lush greenery and well-organized facilities for racers to rest, refuel, and strategize.
The race begins promptly at noon on Saturday from this vibrant center. With its flat terrain and clear signage, the course is designed with ease of navigation in mind, allowing runners to focus entirely on their performance without worrying about getting lost or disoriented. Marshals are stationed throughout the route to ensure safety and provide guidance as needed.
This event offers a unique blend of historical ambiance and modern endurance racing, providing an unforgettable experience for all participants.
