About This Event
Boghopper Races operates across the pristine countryside of East Anglia, offering a series of ultra-distance events designed with first-time ultrarunners in mind. Founded by Janice and Kevin, both experienced ultra finishers who understand the stress of tight cutoffs, these events emphasize achievable goals and relaxed atmospheres over competitive pressure. The races traverse some of England's most historically rich and scenic trails, from the medieval paths of the Holy Trail network to the ancient Boudicca Way and the coastal beauty of the Weavers' Way. Each event maintains generous cutoff times and allows spectator support along the course, creating an environment where runners can focus on the journey rather than the clock. With multiple distance options across their calendar year, Boghopper Races has earned recognition through runner reviews and supports various charitable causes. Their Grand Slam challenge rewards those who complete multiple events in a single year, fostering a community of returning participants who appreciate the thoughtful course design and welcoming race atmosphere.
