Join us for Dragon's Eye run, this is the first in the series of our chunky Dragon's Eye medals! 

This is one of our timed events where you choose - from 5km to 10k, half to marathon to ultra, you can complete as many, or as few, laps as you like of a 5.3km, 3.28 mile, out and back, course along Sale Water Park footpaths.  We welcome all abilities of runners, walkers, joggers, hikers, Jeffers - complete one lap and you're both a finisher and a winner in our eyes, or keep going and see how far you can get in the full 7 hour time limit and everyone gets the fabulous bespoke finishers' medal. 

We will have a rock up and run option, so you can start any time 8am onwards, there is no pressure to start at a particular time. If you have any further requests on the start times, please just email us in advance and we will do our best to accommodate everyone. 

Not sure on the distance?  Well, the beauty of this format is that you don't even need to decide in advance - simply come and run a lap and see how you feel on the day and keep on going if it feels right.
