Experience the scenic charm of Lincolnshire with The Ponton Plod 2026, celebrating its 40th anniversary as NOTFAST RC's beloved charity challenge. Set against the backdrop of Great Ponton Village Centre near Grantham, this event invites runners to explore a variety of picturesque routes across footpaths, bridleways, tracks, and quiet country roads. Choose from four distances: an epic 26.4-mile journey, a more manageable 17 miles, or opt for the shorter but equally enjoyable 12-mile route, along with a 10km option for those looking to dip their toes into this scenic adventure. Participants have up to 10 hours to complete their chosen distance. Registration opens at 7:30am on race day in Great Ponton Village Centre (Grid Ref SK926304), and the event kicks off with staggered start times for each distance, ensuring a smooth flow of runners throughout the morning. Ample parking is available close to the starting point. As you traverse through Lincolnshire’s countryside, expect friendly marshals cheering you on at every turn, along with homemade refreshments at checkpoints that will keep your energy levels high and spirits soaring. The finish line awaits with hearty food and pudding, a fitting reward for all who complete their chosen route. This year's event supports charitable causes to be announced soon via the official website, ensuring that your participation makes an impact beyond personal achievement. Immerse yourself in the warm village welcome of Great Ponton as you join fellow runners on this memorable journey through beautiful landscapes and welcoming communities. Join us for a day filled with scenic beauty, friendly camaraderie, and the joy of running across Lincolnshire's serene countryside.
