The all day
running
festival.
One 3km loop. Five hours. No fixed distance and no pressure to be fast. Run, jog or walk, come back to the Race Hub whenever you like and stop when your finish line feels right.
Every lap brings you back to the Race Hub, the music, your mates and a chance to decide what comes next.
The course stays open for five hours while the Race Hub keeps going. Keep moving, take breaks or call it whenever your finish line feels right.
There is no minimum. One loop counts. Twenty loops count. Your day, your distance, your finish line.
One loop counts. So does 20.
Achievement looks different for everyone. Some people want their first 3km. Others want a marathon. Some just want to see what happens. Whatever your finish line, you finish into the same party.
No compulsory distance. No fixed finish line. Lots of accidental personal bests.
An average of 24km per plodder.
From 3km to 66km. Every finish line counts.
Arrive. Loop. Reset. Then party.
Run your way, come back to the Race Hub after every lap, refuel and get pulled into the all-day party. When the five hours are up, the after-party starts.
Arrive at the Race Hub
Check in, get settled and find your mates. The Race Hub is the centre of the day - music, food, drinks and supporters.
Run the 3km loop
Settle into your own rhythm. Fast, slow, walk-run or chatty pace - every loop brings you straight back to the Race Hub.
Reset, then decide
Grab a drink, eat something, have a breather or head straight back out. Another loop, a longer break or done for the day - you decide.
Stay for the party
Your running can stop without your day ending. The Race Hub keeps going all day, then we carry on into the after-party.
The Race Hub is the party between the laps.
Every loop comes back to the same place, so you're never out there on your own. The Race Hub is where the energy builds all day - music, food, drinks, supporters and people heading back out for one more loop.
Grab food or a drink and decide whether you're ready for another lap.
Every lap brings everyone back together, even when people run completely different distances.
Sit down for five minutes or fifty. No punishment for stopping.
Music, food, drinks, supporters and people cheering each other back out for one more loop - then the after-party.
It feels like an all-day party that happens to involve a lot of running.
The format matters, but the party is what makes it feel different. Music starts while you're still running. The Race Hub gets louder as the day goes on. People finish, grab a drink and stay. When the window closes, we carry on into the after-party.
“The atmosphere at the event was completely unique and so welcoming. Loved the whole event - top to bottom, worth travelling for.”
It started with 20 mates running around in circles.
The format has stayed simple. The events have got slightly out of hand.
20 mates. One test run.
The first one was a test: twenty mates, a loop, some music and a lot of running around in circles.
20 became 70.
The first proper event proved the idea worked beyond a group of mates. More people, more energy and the same rule: you decide how far is enough.
The energy became the thing.
By event three, it wasn't just about the loop. The signs, music, drinks and support between laps were as important as the running itself. The party had become part of the point.
150 people. Still no pressure.
As the crowd grew, the aim was to keep the feeling the same: no egos, no intimidating atmosphere and no distance that mattered more than anyone else's - just a bigger Race Hub, a bigger party and more people staying long after their last lap.
320 plodders. Things got silly.
Hundreds of people, all running different distances, all returning to the same Race Hub. Bigger scale, louder party, same pressure-free idea.
London. Manchester.
Taking the plod to Manchester proved the atmosphere wasn't tied to one venue or city. The format works because of the people, the energy they bring and the party they stay for afterwards.
Fancy seeing what all the fuss is about?
Come for one loop. Stay for ten. Take a break. Go again. Then stay for the party. That's the whole idea.
