Brigantia Hogsheads Challenge 2025

Our popular 6 hour Challenge is back for its 4th outing. Named Brigantia to celebrate our Celtic heritage and Hogshead as we wanted a medal with a hog on (also loosely because of York's previous name Ebor, ie E-boar).

The event is being held at York Sports Village on their 1km cycle circuit. This is a 6 hour, chip timed event so you can turn up and run 1 lap and earn a medal and goody bag. Or you can run for the full 6 hours and see how many laps you can complete or anything in between.

It's your challenge, your race, you decide the distance!

No need to advise us in advance how many laps you wish to do, just turn up and run! There is absolutely, no need to run for the full 6 hours, unless you really wish to do so!

All runners, no matter how fast or how far they have run, will receive the same bespoke medal (a new hog for 2025) and a goody bag.

Homemade cakes will be available for all runners.

Please note that all our events are now cupless. Please bring you own labelled bottle or cup. These can be accessed each lap and can be filled and refilled with water and squash before, during and after the event. We will also have coke, sweets and snacks on the feed station to help keep you fuelled.

Final event information will be e-mailed out to everyone the week before the event.

Race registration and bib/chip collection will be on race day before the event.
