We are all set for Let it Stow Half Marathon! ❄️❄️

As mentioned in your race information the route is super muddy so please do wear trail shoes and take extra care!

As always we’ve marked the route with yellow arrows and red and white tape. Continue straight unless a sign or tape tell you otherwise! For extra reassurance you can download the route onto your devices.

At the start please follow the tape along the edge of the fields - no cutting corners! We’re watching! 👀

Our photographer will be in the woods around mile 1.5 at which point you will be utterly filthy 🤩🏃

Don’t forget to dig out the tinsel and bring lots of festive cheer!

See you in the morning!
Registration opens at 8am ❄️

We’re looking forward to welcoming you to Stowmarket on Sunday for a fun and festive Half Trail Marathon.

Race day info has been emailed out to all participants this evening - you can also find it on the event page (link in bio).

Prepare for lots of mud and puddles - trail shoes are essential! Festive attite is optional but encouraged - spot prizes for best dressed! 🧑‍🎄🎄☃️

We do have a handful of places available on the day - these will be offered on a first come first serve basis.

We would love some extra volunteers to join the event crew so please let us know if you know anyone that could help in return for a free race place at any of our events.

Look forward to seeing you all soon! ❄️🏃❄️
