Shepshed Seven

Event overview

The Shepshed 7 takes place on Sunday 2 November 2025 at Iveshead School, Shepshed (LE12 9DA). The event is organised as a measured, two-lap 7-mile race on a multi-terrain, traffic-free course through the private grounds of Garendon Park by kind permission of Persimmon Homes. The 2025 route has been changed from the usual course because of construction work on part of the original route.

Entries are limited (maximum 400). Entrants must be at least 16 years old. Entries close on 19 October 2025; entrants who register by 25 September 2025 are guaranteed their chosen T-shirt size. Refunds and deferrals are not permitted; transfers are allowed until 26 October 2025.
