SUMMER SOLSTICE CHALLENGE

Hi Guys,

We are very pleased and excited to announce this new totally awesome event. The Summer Solstice Challenge. In association with Essex Wildlife Trust, who will be receiving a donation from the proceeds of this event. We will be hosting this cracking event from the Abberton Reservoir Visitors Centre near Colchester for a great evening of running on the longest day of the year, the Summer Solstice, on Thursday 20th June starting at 4pm. This is your chance to have a long run on the longest day of the year and celebrate the Summer Solstice. 

Our event will start at 4pm and finishing at 10pm. You will be running just over 5k laps with the stunning scenery and cracking off road paths on a loop around the Res. The question is, how many laps can you do on this challenge ? We are confident some might make marathon distance, or even ultra distance from this 6 hour challenge, but whatever you choose to do, whether it being to run for 1 hour or 6, we are sure you will love this awesome event. The laps start and finish at the Visitors Centre so each and every lap you will be coming by our feed station. This will be well stocked and obviously free to keep you going all evening.

The medals for this event have now been ordered to allow for design and delivery before the event but there may be a small number available to purchase on the day at £2.50 on a first come, first served basis, so for any entries after the 6th June a medal cannot be guaranteed unfortunately. 

The Visitors Centre itself will be open all evening so your friends and family can cheer you on as you run by with refreshments available to purchase. 

We are really looking forward to this event at this obviously stunning location and quiet part of the countryside with lovely scenic views with an abundance of wildlife. What more could you want on your long run on the longest day of the year. 

We look forward to seeing you !

Thanks from Craig and all the team at Craig's Events.
