The Ely Tri Club Runfest is a festival of running created for those who like a choice of distances ranging from 10k to 66k. Starting and finishing at the iconic 11th century cathedral, the races take in more of the beautiful historic city of Ely before heading into the Cambridgeshire countryside.

Most of the course involves quiet, traffic free paths along the the banks of the rivers Great Ouse and Cam and their adjacent fens (there's only one short, gentle climb through Cherry Hill Park in the entire race). Those running the marathon and ultra get the added bonus of a trip through the Wicken Fen nature reserve, home to more than 9,000 species, including Konik ponies, cattle, birds and rare plants.

This is a low key, friendly event which welcomes adult runners of all ages and abilities. With a few obstacles (steps, stiles, cattle grids etc) along the way, the routes are perhaps better tailored for adventure, fun and stamina rather than PBs. But whatever your pace or goal there'll be plenty of food/drink stations and enthusiastic marshal support throughout.

Interested? You can access entry details, locations, logistics and course information at the Ely Tri Club website (https://www.elytriclub.co.uk/runfest) or head over to our Facebook page. Alternatively, you can go right ahead and book your place at the Let's Do This website here (https://www.letsdothis.com/gb/checkout/ticket?eventId=191917&utm_organiser_id=155997).

Participants must be at least 18 years old on the day (20 if you're taking part in the Ultra).

We look forward to welcoming you on 8th October!
