The Race
This point-to-point 50k race covers all the best the Suffolk coast path has to offer. From the beachfront in Lowestoft, you will run through heathland, forests, country lanes, beaches, dunes and scenic trails. There are four checkpoints along the route providing food, drink and facilities to keep you going. This race is excellent for beginners, with under 200m elevation over the whole course and no technical terrain (well, a bit of shingle) but you can really get into your stride, and after the coaching we hope you will cover this distance with confidence.
Places are limited to 15 and it will be on a first come first serve basis, so if this sounds like a bit of you then please find the application form link below along with some further information.
If you’re keen but are unsure if it’s right for you then do get in touch and Tom would be happy to chat and answer any questions, just email tom@escapetrails.co.uk
