Discover the charm and beauty of Hockwold Hall, a former Royal Residence nestled in a picturesque breckland village on the borders of Norfolk, Suffolk, and Cambridgeshire. This majestic venue is best known for its stunning weddings and the vibrant peacock population that roams freely through its lush gardens. The race day at Hockwold Hall offers runners an unparalleled experience with routes looping through meticulously landscaped parklands and estate grounds. You'll be surrounded by mature trees, open lawns, and period charm as you navigate a 5.3km loop filled with scenic vistas and the occasional peacock audience. Whether you're aiming for personal bests or simply enjoying the surroundings, Hockwold Hall welcomes all paces and distances from a leisurely walk to an ultra run. The event ensures that every finisher is celebrated equally, fostering a warm and inclusive atmosphere where everyone feels like a winner. Upon crossing the line, participants will receive a well-deserved medal, cake at the finish line, water, squash, and coke along the way, all complemented by chip timing for accurate results. Race day registration opens an hour before your start time, but remember to bring your own cup as this is a cupless event. Join us for the inaugural running event at Hockwold Hall and be part of something truly special. Early bird discounts are available but non-transferable in case of any future transfers. Experience history, nature, and community all rolled into one unforgettable day of running.
