Shepshed 7
The Shepshed 7 takes place on Sunday 1 November 2026 at Iveshead School, Forest Street, Shepshed LE12 9DA. It is an out and back multiterrain race held through the grounds of Garendon Park by kind permission of Persimmon Homes.
The course distance is 7 miles. Surfaces include grass, gravel and hard paths; sections in Garendon Park can hold puddles or become muddy after heavy rain. Runners will pass others on the out and back route and are asked to keep to the right side of the paths. Trail shoes are recommended if there has been heavy rain.
There will be a water station approximately halfway on the course and another at the finish. All finishers receive a commemorative shirt. Facilities on site include toilets, changing rooms and a staffed café, plus a pop up running stall and a guided warm up. Spot prizes will be awarded in addition to category prizes.
Parking on site is very limited due to construction at the school and shared use of the site. Organisers advise car sharing, walking or using public transport. There is free parking off Britannia Street (about a ten minute walk) and a pay and display car park off Field Street. Bus services LC16 and 127 serve Shepshed.
Race administration notes: there are no main race entries on the day, the fun run allows on the day entry for £5, race numbers must be collected before the race, and results and prizes are based on finishing position not chip time. Category prizes are awarded separately for male and female entrants, with team prizes calculated from the top three finishers from a club. One prize is awarded per entrant.
