The Tiger Trot - Northampton
The Tiger Trot at Northampton Active is a 7 hour Time Challenge held on well maintained paths and trail around the Northampton Washlands. The event uses a lap format so participants choose how many laps to complete within the 7 hour period; a full lap is 7 km (4.37 miles) though the route may be shortened if required.
The minimum official finishing distance is 3 km. There are designated 3 km and 5 km turn points within the lap to support age-related distance rules under UK Athletics. Common distance benchmarks on the course are:
- 3 km minimum finishing distance
- 5 km turn point within the lap
- 7 km full lap (approx 4.37 miles)
- Half Marathon
- Marathon
- 50 km and Ultra options
The event is licensed by the Trail Running Association and held under UK Athletics rules. Members receive a reduced entry price, guaranteed entry and a mini-me medal pin; members of UK Athletics affiliated clubs receive a small entry discount.
Finishers who complete at least 3 km receive a themed medal and, for distances of a half-marathon or more, distance pins are added to the medal ribbon. Finishers receive a goody bag with a vegan option available. An aid table and drinks table are provided at the start/finish of each lap with drinks and a selection of snacks, including vegan options.
Toilets are available at the venue but there are no separate changing facilities or showers. Parking at the venue is limited and nearby paid parking may be available. A non-secure bag area is provided at the start/finish. Headphones are allowed. The event is organised by Saturn Too Limited, a franchise partner of Saturn Running.
