Sublime Nene Park Running Festival

 

We have a weekend full of exciting running events and entertainment for you to choose from:

  • The Nene Park 24 Hour Race (Midday to Midday)
  • The Nene Park 12 Hour Race (9am to 9pm)
  • The Nene Park 10k
  • The Nene Park 5K
  • The Nene Park Kinds Race

 

We will have a 12 and 24 Hour Race, both running through the night.  These are individual or team relay races held at the stunning Bathurst Estate on the outskirts of Cirencester in Gloucestershire. These are run over an off-road 9km mixed course including forest trails, open parkland and tarmac paths.  If you enter as a team, only one member of your team is allowed on the course at any one time, and everybody in your team must complete one whole lap. At the end of the 12 or 24 hours, the team in each category who has completed most laps, wins. YOU DON’T HAVE TO RUN 100 MILES!  For the first time in 2019 we will also have an 9km Race (one lap of the relay course), a 5km Race, and a 1km Kids Race for ages 5 – 17 (categorised by age group).


 

COURSE SUMMARY

The Sublime Swaffham 10k is an exciting, beautiful & scenic "out & back" course. ​The start is on Turbine Way outside The Green Britain Centre. ​It then heads out of Bears Lane and into the beautiful Norfolk countryside, running along West Acre Road for about three miles, before turning around and making its way back to the Green Britain Centre via Bears Lane again.

 

VENUE UPDATE

The Green Britain Centre will not be open in time for us to host our race from the beautiful venue this year. However, Breckland Council have very kindly made two of the Turbine Way units available to us to use as Race HQ. The venue will not extend the luxury of the Green Britain centre but it will keep us warm and dry and allow the race to go ahead while the Green Britain Centre IS unavailable.

We would like to say a special thank you to David Wickerson and Les Scott, for their continued support in helping us to find and secure the replacement venue.

Course Elevation Profile

The course feels easier on the way out and more challenging on the way back.
Last year there were plenty of PB's achieved on the course but the elevation profile makes the course look easier than it feels to run.
