Turkey Trot - Barrow, Bury Saint Edmunds

Event Overview

The Turkey Trot Challenge is a timed running event held at the Suffolk Running Centre in Barrow, Bury Saint Edmunds. The race follows a six hour format where participants aim to complete as much distance as possible within the time limit. Runners are permitted to start a final lap as long as they depart the designated Base Camp area before the six hour mark is reached. The course follows the Back Quack route, which features undulating, multi-terrain surfaces.

Participation and Distances

The event is open to runners aged 18 and over, with a maximum capacity of 300 entrants. Participants have the flexibility to run as much or as little as they choose, with the option to rest between laps. Because of the repeating lap nature of the course, runners can use the time to complete several standard distances:

• 5 km
• 10 km
• Half Marathon
• Full Marathon
• Ultra-Marathon

Course and Facilities

The Race HQ and Base Camp are located at the start and completion point of each lap. This central area hosts the water and aid station for the event. This challenge is designed with straightforward logistics and minimal navigation requirements, and no specific kit is required. Parking is included in the entry fee. The event operates on a cupless basis, requiring participants to bring their own bottles or cups for refilling at the aid station. Finishers receive either a bespoke event medal or a selection from previous events depending on their entry choice. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
