Haughley Festival of Running

The Haughley Festival of Running takes place at Haughley Park, with advised parking at postcode IP30 9RS. The site is used exclusively for the event and provides a self-contained area with open space for runners and support.

Multiple looped distances are offered:

  • 5k
  • 10k
  • Half Marathon
  • Full Marathon
  • Ultra Marathon

A heavy half marathon is set as five laps by default, with the option to change to six or seven laps on the day. The ultra marathon is set as nine laps by default and can be increased, subject to time available, up to twelve laps. There is a six hour event cut off and a shorter four hour cut off that applies to later starts.

The course runs mainly on pathways with a short section of trails and woodland. A water and aid station is located at the lap point so runners can refill during laps. Secure on site parking is included, and a parking attendant will direct vehicles and to the race number collection area. Finishers receive a bespoke event medal or, where available, a lucky dip selection of previous medals.

The event is cupless; participants are asked to bring cups or bottles for refreshment refilling. Entries close 48 hours before the event day. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
