Remembrance Run

The Remembrance Run is back on Lincoln Road on Saturday 7 November, a six-hour timed challenge that lets you call your own distance. It's run by Circuit Running Events Limited, and the beauty of the format is that you decide where you stop: you can do a 5K, a half marathon, or push it all the way to an ultra marathon within the time limit. The course follows an old railway line on a tarmac path, run out-and-back so there's no navigation to worry about, with a small field section at the start and finish. There's a 5K turn point in place, and refreshments and food are laid out at the end of each lap to keep you going.

It's licensed by the TRA and run under UKA Athletics rules, and the organisers describe it as beginner-friendly and sociable. Falling close to Remembrance Day each November, it's as much about reflecting and remembering as it is about the running. Every finisher gets a bespoke Remembrance-themed medal and a goody bag.

Registration opens at 08:45, and the run itself starts at 09:30. It's held on Lincoln Road in Skellingthorpe, Lincoln, LN6 5UU, with parking at Skellingthorpe Community Centre. Entry is £26-£28.
