Get ready for the eighth annual Yabba Dabba Doo fun run at Chase Water Country Park! This year’s event offers something exciting for runners of all levels with distances ranging from approximately 5K to the full marathon. Participants can choose their preferred distance and enjoy multiple laps around the picturesque reservoir. The route is meticulously marked, ensuring a smooth experience as you navigate through flat terrain that's both fast-paced and challenging underfoot due to its mix of hard stone paths and pathways. Along the way, runners will find aid stations stocked with plenty of refreshments to help them maintain their energy throughout the race. Upon crossing the finish line, all participants are rewarded with a unique Yabba Dabba Doo medal, celebrating your achievement in style. The event encourages everyone to embrace their playful side by dressing up and adding an extra layer of fun to the day’s activities. Race HQ is located at the Visitor Centre within Chase Water Country Park on Pool Lane, Burntwood, Staffordshire (WS8 7NL), where you can also take advantage of various amenities such as a café, restrooms, and a children's play area. For those looking to extend their visit beyond just running, there are opportunities for water sports and steam train rides available in the park. Join us at Chase Water Country Park this year for an unforgettable day filled with scenic runs, friendly competition, and plenty of family-friendly activities!
