Zigzag - Windmill Way Wander

Bury St Edmunds, United Kingdom • 16 Jan 2027

Windmill Way Wander

The Windmill Way Wander returns to the Suffolk Running Centre in Bury St Edmunds. This road running event offers a variety of distances held on a course featuring rolling hills with approximately 600ft of elevation. The route passes through the villages of Higham, Gazeley, Ashley, Dalham, and Denham, providing views of Dalham Hall and the Dalham windmill.

Participants can choose from several distance options:

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

The course layout varies by distance. Runners completing distances under a half marathon follow an out-and-back route. The half marathon consists of a single loop, while the full marathon completes two loops. Ultra marathon participants complete the two loops followed by an additional out-and-back section to the 5 km turnaround point.

The event operations are based at the Race HQ, which serves as the start, lap point, and main aid station. Additional aid stations providing drinks and snacks are positioned every 10 km along the route. The event is cupless, requiring participants to bring their own bottles or cups for refilling. Finishers receive either a bespoke event medal or can opt for a "lucky dip" medal from previous events. Entry fees include on-site parking at the venue.
