The 401 Festival of Running is a 2 day Running event which you can see in my video https://youtu.be/dCE5qiFzaGs
On the Saturday is a 5K & Half Marathon, with a 500m & 1 Mile kids race.
on the Sunday is a 10K & a 6.1K, with a 500m & 1 mike kids race.
if you want you can just do one race, or two races, but if you do 3 you may as well take on that extra 6.1K to round up the weekend to a marathon distance & complete the 401 26.2 challenge.
At £60 for 4 races over 2 days earning 5 medals the challenge is a great price I thought.
Portishead isn’t massive so the 4 races do use a lot of the same route which was repetitive but actually made it really easy for spectators to se runners loads as we were lapping last the event village a lot & the marina which was beautiful.
there was a real family feel to this, on the Saturday evening was a free screening of The Greatest Showman.
