The Zipping Zebra Run - Northampton
The Zipping Zebra Run is a timed running event held at Northampton Active, Bedford Rd, Northampton. It is organised by Saturn Too Limited as a franchise partner of Saturn Running and is scheduled for 7 February 2027. The event is licensed by the Trail Running Association and held under UK Athletics rules.
The event is a seven hour Time Challenge that allows participants to choose their own distance. The minimum recorded distance for an official finish is 3km. A full lap measures about 7km (4.37 miles) and includes internal 3km and 5km turn points. Lap counts used by the organiser indicate three laps for a half marathon, six for a marathon, and seven or more for an ultra; a 50km option is provided and is just under six laps. The regular course may be adjusted for health and safety before the event.
Course and support are provided on the Northampton Washlands over well maintained paths and trail. Finishers who complete at least 3km receive a zebra themed medal and distance pins are offered for half-marathon distance and above. Aid and drinks tables are available at the start/finish of each lap with sweet and savoury options and vegan choices. All finishers receive a goody bag with a vegan option.
Venue facilities include toilets but no separate changing areas or showers. Parking at the venue is limited and nearby parking may incur charges. A non-secure bag area is available. Headphones are permitted and runners should be considerate of other path users. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
