All are welcome to join us for our pre race Pasta Party at 7pm on Saturday! See prices below.

We are extremely fortunate to have the kind support from from Castor Parish Council, Alwalton Parish Council, Stibbington Parish Council, Yarwell Parish Council, Yarwell United Charities, Elton Hall, Sutton Parish Council Elton Parish Council Fotheringhay Parish Council Nassington Parish Council, Wansford Parish Council and all the local landowners. Without their support we just wouldn't have such an amazing course through all this beautiful countryside and local villages. 

The swimming for all distances is on the beautiful River Nene.

The run sections for the 5k and 10k are predominantly flat, off road with tracks, field and compact trail.  The run sections for the 21k and the 39k are more undulating and take you down in the valley on a scenic but challenging river adventure with upstream and downstream swimming on the most beautiful and clean sections of the River Nene.
