The team at Just Racing UK has officially launch its 2015 running event calendar. The Stanford Hall Half Marathon and 10K and the Wellingborough Multi Terrain ‘Dirt Run’ Series are both set to return in 2015, building on the success of both events earlier this year.
Following on from a successful inaugural year, the Stanford Hall Half Marathon and 10K will return on Sunday 22 March 2015. Located within the grounds of the 17th century stately home of Stanford Hall, the event will again host both a half marathon and 10K, set against a quintessentially English backdrop.
The undulating course comprises one lap, and leads runners around the quiet country roads of Leicestershire. Both courses will take in beautiful views of the springtime countryside and there will be a finish at Stanford Hall itself, where spectators can enjoy the atmosphere of the picturesque stately home.
The three-part Wellingborough Multi-terrain ‘Dirt Run’ series will kick off 2015, with Round One due to be held on Sunday 18 January 2015. Round Two will follow two weeks later on Sunday 1 February; and Round Three follows on Sunday 15 February 2015. Hosted at the Jurassic Irchester Country Park in Northamptonshire, competitors can choose their race distance; 5K, 10K, or 15K, on a challenging course over the spectacular surroundings and varied terrain of the rural country park.
Alan Rose, Race Director at Just Racing UK said “We are really happy with how our running events have gone this year, especially at Stanford Hall last weekend where we had over 1000 people sign up. The feedback that we have had has all been incredibly positive and we want to really build upon these successes for next year.
“We are especially looking forward to adding a further big running event to our calendar, to take place in March 2015. We will be launching this soon, so keep your ears peeled for this announcement.”
Alan continued, “These events provide a great opportunity to get in some early season run training in ahead of the summer triathlon season, as well as springtime marathon events. Get in there early to guarantee your spot!”
Entries to both events open on Friday 28 March 2014, and there will be a special early bird offer for the month of April, in which time the 2014 race rates will have been held.
