recce days/group run



sign ups and info



Welcome to recce days!

Please see below the dates for The Sundowner Marathon recces. If you want to bring a friend who isn't signed up thats fine, the more the merrier! These days are perfect for anyone who's a little nervous about the route or maybe just wants some advice or someone going for the win wanting to store some course knowledge to get an edge on race day. 

We will not be going at any particular pace and will run the whole route together comfortably. 

If it proves popular I will add more dates if I can.

I will split the race into its two loops to be completed on different days, unless anyone really wanted to do the whole thing and I would make an exception and they could join one of my own recces during the build up in May.

Loop 1 is the first 14/15 miles and loop 2 is the second part of the course roughly 13 miles.

One of the recces for loop 2 will be a night so please pay attention when emailing your preferences over.

happy trails, Matt
