PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS EVENT IS ONLY FOR MEMBERS OF BUNGAY BLACK DOG RUNNING CLUB
As part of the Black Shuck Festival taking place in Bungay between the 1st and 3rd of August 2025, the club has once again been asked to organise the “Black Shuck Run” as part of the festival opening.
On Friday 1st August we will follow a route from Blythburgh to Bungay, which legend has it, the original black shuck took on 4th of August 1577, 448 years ago.
The full route is 15.4 miles (24.8km) and we will have several LiRF led runs starting at different points and times along the route, with us all converging in Bungay where we will carry an effigy of the Black Shuck into town to kick off festival proceedings in style. This has been a fantastic and inclusive club event for the last 2 years and I’m sure it will be equally as fun this year.
In addition, this year we are including 1.2km (12+ only) and 600m runs for our Junior members. This will be on the roads and by completing the attached form parents/guardians are giving permission for their child to take part.
As there are several logistics involved we are asking members to sign up in advance so we can be clear on numbers, so if you are interested can you please use the form below to indicate the run you would like to take part in. The form below can also be used for those who can provide lifts to the start, these people are vital to the smooth running of the event so please also ask family and friends if they can help us out on this.
Details of the full route can be found here : https://connect.garmin.com/modern/course/160698863
The different start points and times are below. The paces of the runs will ensure we all arrive at the finish at the same time so if you cannot confidently run at the guide pace, please choose the next one down and loop.
As this is an event where we are representing the club externally official club kit must be worn.
