Crocodile Challenge
About the Event
The 3.3-mile out and back loop at Ryton Pools Country Park means your race can be just over 5K or, given the relatively flat nature of the course, potentially 50+ miles! You decide how many laps you are going to do on the day within the 6-hour time limit. If you're looking to cover a marathon distance you'll need to complete 8 laps and a half marathon will be 4 laps.
The format is great for people looking to run further than they've ever done before, a long training run for future events or to enjoy a sociable event with your friends.
When: Friday 23rd January 2026
Where: Ryton Pools County Park, Nr Coventry, CV8 RBH
