Nottingham Running Festival

The Nottingham Running Festival takes place at Nottingham Racecourse within Colwick Country Park. The event offers a set of mass-participation distances and supports Nottinghamshire Hospice. The course uses lakeside paths and wide open trails and includes sections inside the racecourse.

Course details note a generally flat profile with road and gravel surfaces. Reported elevation changes for the longer distances are modest. Marshals are present on course and an event village provides food and drink options and partner giveaways.

Included with entry are a themed medal, free race photos, chip timed results and post race goodies. There is an optional RunThrough Kit Technical T-Shirt offered at a reduced price with the Nottingham Running Festival logo printed on the chest.

The organiser states an ongoing focus on sustainability and has set out measures related to event operations. Facilities and services aim to support a managed event experience with wayfinding from marshals and a serviced event village.
