This is a Nice Work race
This means that this is an original Nice Work race, fully hosted and organised by us. 

Event Overview:
This popular race uses the forest paths and trails in and around Cannock Chase Forest. It is a beautiful and challenging course with some hills, but it's a spectacularly rewarding run and well worth every step! The event welcomes runners of all abilities from novices to experienced athletes and it is the perfect race for spring marathon training. 

Course Details:
This race follows the demanding but delightful trails and footpaths within Cannock Chase Forest, and includes a few steep but satisfying inclines. Those completing a 10 Mile distance will run two laps, whilst those in the 5 Mile race will only complete one lap. The route will be quiet and with no vehicle traffic; it's racing at its best!
