ZigZag - 2025 Summer Ready Run

Sunday, 06 July 2025 @ 09:00

Come and join the fun at the Summer Ready Run

The Summer Ready Run is back at Ferry Meadows

LOCATION: Ferry Meadows, Ham Lane, Peterborough, PE2 5UU

Ferry Meadows is one of the largest country parks in the region. Situated less than three miles from Peterborough City Centre, at the heart of Nene Park, its varied landscapes make it the favourite destination for thousands of visitors throughout the year.

The Summer Ready Run is a 6 hour event (if you start at 9am) or a 4 hour event (if you start at 9am start), run as far as you can during the six hours and a little bit more if you're lucky, as long as you are leaving the Base Camp by 5:59:59 you get to run another lap, we have a 5.3k lap throughout the park.

You can run as much or little as you want to, you can rest between laps if you like and head out for some more.

You may be completing your first official 5k,10k, Half Marathon, Full Marathon or even ultra-Marathon, or it may be your 100th or 1000th.

This race is also ideal for those who want to try and achieve a Marathon distance and for those who also want the option to push a little further, possibly an ultra but without the complications of trail ultras, with next to no navigation, no kit required, an aid station every lap and straightforward logistics.

When you enter the race, you will receive an email from EventEntry and then a confirmation from Zig Zag Running which will contact the race briefing information about the day.

Parking is chargeable at the park. From the toilets and the parking payment machines you will see our start arch and gazebos.

On the day

Once you have parked your car, look out for the main toilet block. To the left of the block you will see our race arch and gazebos. You will also see a sign for race registration. Proceed to the Race Registration area to collect your bib numbers.

Please leave your baggage in the car.

The Race HQ/Base Camp is located at the start and Lap point we will have our water/aid station.

The terrain consists of country park footpaths and grass areas. Our suggestion is to wear road trainers, but depending on the weather before the event you may want to bring trails if you have them but not essential.


We have designed a Bespoke medal for the event, which you will receive at the end of the race. (Unless you have chosen the Finisher Medal Option. You will receive a medal but it will not be specific to the event)

We will have virtual spaces available for anyone who wants the run for the medal but cannot make the event date. These are only available on our Zig Zag Running website


Getting here

Ferry Meadows lies three miles west of Peterborough and just two miles east of the A1. On all major routes into the city, look for and follow the brown tourist attraction signs for NENE PARK or the country park symbol. Ferry Meadows is signed on Oundle Road (A605).

If using navigation, we recommend entering "Ham Lane, Peterborough" or the postcode PE2 5UU

Important note: Parking is additional for this venue
