Save The Rhino Run - Northampton
Saturn Too organises a Save The Rhino Run in Northampton to raise money and awareness for the Save The Rhino charity. The event is a 7 hour Time Challenge that lets participants choose how far to run, with a minimum official finishing distance of 3 km. A full lap is normally 7 km (about 4.37 miles) but the route may be shortened after a health and safety review. The lap contains 3 km and 5 km turn points to support compliance with UK Athletics age rules.
Distances available include:
- 3 km
- 5 km
- 10 km
- Half marathon
- Marathon
- Ultra
- 50 km
- Time Challenge (flexible distance)
The course runs around the Northampton Washlands on well maintained paths and trail. Finishers who complete at least 3 km receive a themed medal. Distance pins are issued for half-marathon and longer distances and are attached to the medal ribbon. For an extra £3 a rhino pin is available; 100% of that amount is donated to Save The Rhino and is matched by Saturn Running.
The event is licensed by the Trail Running Association and held under UK Athletics rules. Members receive a reduced entry fee and guaranteed entry; UK Athletics club members receive a small entry discount. There is an aid table with drinks and snacks each lap, goody bags including a vegan option, toilets at the venue, limited parking nearby, an unsecured bag drop area, and headphones are allowed.
