About This Event
The Snickerthon presents a clever take on endurance running at Chasewater Country Park in Staffordshire, where runners choose their own adventure across multiple distances. Set in the beautiful country park surroundings, this multi-lap event offers the flexibility to push personal boundaries with 5K, 10K, half marathon, and marathon options all on the same course. The 5K loop winds through a mixture of paths and footpaths around the park's scenic landscape, where runners might catch glimpses of wild deer during their circuits. The relatively flat terrain makes this an accessible event for runners of various abilities, while the lap format allows for excellent spectator support and aid station access throughout. Chasewater's facilities enhance the race experience with on-site cafe, restrooms, and children's areas, making it family-friendly for supporters. Each finisher receives a special medal and the signature Snickers bar—a playful nod to the candy bar's former name as the Marathon bar, which inspired the event's clever title.
