The 4 Calling Birds Run is an off-road event held at Pengethley Manor in Ross-on-Wye. This race is part of a festive series inspired by the 12 Days of Christmas.

The terrain is described as a tough off-road circuit consisting of 2.5 km laps.

Participants have a total of 7 hours to complete their chosen target distance. The event is open to both runners and walkers, provided they finish within the designated time limit. For those unable to attend the physical venue, a virtual participation option is available, allowing runners to complete their distance at a location of their choice.

Available distances include:

  • 5 km (2 laps)
  • 10 km
  • Half Marathon
  • Marathon
  • Ultra

All registered participants receive a race bib upon arrival on the day of the event. Finishers are awarded a unique medal specific to the 4 Calling Birds theme.
