The Engma Quadzilla was a low key, yet well supported race. The course is 7 and a bit laps of approximately 5km around Caldecotte Lake in Milton Keynes.

Runners could complete 1, 2, 3, or 4 marathons (1 per day) over the 4 days and the cut off time was very reasonable. Those who completed all 4 days received a prestigious hoodie and their own lifetime bib/race number, both of which are fantastic personal touches.

The aid station is situated at the lap point, which is also the finish line. Simple snacks are available. The range of snacks is minimal, but does the job! You can also leave layers, drinks, snacks etc. at the aid station along with any personal items, so this means you don't have to lug gels, food and drinks around the course.

A lovely flat route which is well supported, with many locals cheering you on as well (as that's what you do when you see runners wearing race numbers!).

 

Enigma Quadzilla then!! 4 Marathons in 4 days. A very unique challenge. Four days all spent at Caldecotte Lake, Milton Keynes. Parking is free, a train station is nearby, and there is plenty of hotel choices locally, including at Caldecotte itself which I would strongly recommend for the 4 days. You can also book each day separately if you just wish to run one Marathon. The route is flipped clockwise to anti-clockwise each day in between, the exception this year was Sunday we ran in tough stormy conditions so the route was clockwise for 3 of the days, but in light of conditions I have no issue with this, it meant I was very comfortable with the route and new my pace points. Foxy and his team are so supportive, as are fellow runners, it makes for an amazing event with great support and a real family atmosphere if that’s the right way of describing it! The hardest thing I have ever done, but I’d run it again in a heartbeat. Good medals each day, and the prestige of the hoody with not only the 4 marathons on the back, but also how many times you’ve run it if a previous runner of Quadzilla! All nice touches, and I now have a lifetime running number for the event, which makes it all the more special. Nice touches.
