About the Event

Join the Safari Sprint on January 9, 2027, for an inclusive and exhilarating running experience around Northampton's Washlands. This event offers runners of all abilities, from beginners to seasoned athletes, the chance to enjoy a scenic course with well-maintained paths.
Participants can choose their own adventure within a 7-hour timeframe, starting at just 3 kilometers and extending up to an ultra-distance run that covers more than seven laps around the Washlands. The route is designed to accommodate various distances, including half-marathons (three full loops), marathons (six loops), and even longer challenges like the 50km distance.
The event features a range of amenities for runners, such as aid stations offering drinks and snacks at each lap's start/finish line. Vegan options are also available to cater to dietary preferences. Additionally, all finishers will receive themed medals with animal designs, while those who complete half-marathon distances or longer can earn distance pins reflecting their achievements.
Membership offers a discounted entry fee of £10 less than the full price and guarantees entry into this event. UK Athletics-affiliated club members also enjoy an extra discount on registration fees. The venue provides toilets but lacks changing facilities and showers, so participants should plan accordingly for personal hygiene needs before or after the race.
Limited parking is available at the site with additional spaces nearby that may incur a fee. On-the-day number collection will be conducted via race registration prior to commencement, along with final instructions sent out in advance by email.
Bring headphones if you wish and remember to leave any valuable items securely stored as there's no guaranteed supervision for personal belongings left unattended at the start/finish area. Runners are encouraged to respect other path users while enjoying this unique event organized by Saturn Too Limited under UK Athletics rules. For more information or special recognition, such as celebrating a milestone run, contact [email protected].
Experience the Safari Sprint and celebrate your running journey with fellow enthusiasts in Northampton's picturesque Washlands on January 9, 2027!
