The Pumpkin Plod 2024 - 27/10/2024



Wow what an amazing day we had with you all, we couldn't have asked for better weather,


The route whilst undulating was really beautiful and challenging.


It was so great meeting so many of you for the first time and also seeing so many regular faces, some we haven't seen for a while, its is so nice to catch up with all of you.


It brings us so much joy to witness so many of you completing your first 5ks, 10ks, first Half Marathons & First marathons and a couple of first Ultras too, so many of you achieving new PB's and a new range of course records taken today too.


One of the highlights of our events is the social side where we get to chat with you at the end and hear some of the incredible journeys that you are all on.

A special congratulations goes out the amazing Hayley Brewis today for completing her 200th Lifetime marathon.



Today's event Route: Route B, Brandon, a 5.3k undulating trail run with absolutely amazing views across Thetford and into the amazing Forestry England Land countryside.

 

Marshals and Support:  We are so lucky to have the best marshals in the world. Once again we would like to extend our gratitude to all the brilliant marshals who ensured a smooth and fun experience for everyone. Their commitment to making the events enjoyable for all participants is remarkable. They were truly amazing and we had so many great comments about how they really made the day special.

 

Pictures and Memories: Remember to check out the amazing pictures captured during today's run! They will be uploaded to our Zig Zag running group on Facebook. Feel free to tag yourself and your friends to share the moments.

 

What’s new – We have our own Zig Zag Running App.  This can be found in the app store on your mobile device.  It’s a quick way to view these results, access events and see what we have on offer in our shop in terms of merchandise and virtual entries.

 

All medals are ordered through into December with some of the next few events either sold out or getting close so don’t leave it too long if you have your eye on a specific piece of bling for your collection. The Christmas Collection this year are also already popular.

 

That said, we attach the race diary for the remainder of 2024 and into 2025 so you can start planning your adventures.

 

What's next? - The Fireworks Festival of Running - a 12 Hour event at Wodson Park in Ware, Herts, with the option to do from 5k, up to the full 12 hours, or even see if you can two events done in one day, without the option of getting lost.


If you are receiving this and were unable to get to todays event, we will hold your medal for 3 months should you wish to claim it.


Next Events at Brandon - if you enjoyed today’s event and want to come back to this venue again, we are there again in December for a Christmas Event, 'Twas the run before Christmas.

We also have quite a few already booked in for next year, do take time to see the diary attached.

Next Years Pumpkin Plod - This event will next year return back to Ferry Meadows Country Park. The event will open in the next couple of days. This will be held on Sunday 26th October 2025 - save the date!

Attached you'll find the results from today, the updated course records and events diary.  Congratulations to those who got their own PR or PB’s. We welcome all feedback and would be grateful if you could take the time to review our event. https://zigzagrunning.eventrac.co.uk/e/pumpkin-plod-11105/reviews
