Event Details

The Millennium Way (Newport to Burton).

The Way for the Millennium is a national trail that was setup 15 years ago to celebrate the millennium, and is now 41 miles long.

For the Millennium Way you’ll park and register at Burton-on-Trent (Derbyshire border); Shobnall Leisure Complex and then board the coach for a the 41 mile trip to Newport itself (on the Shropshire border).

You’ll run as fast as your little legs will carry you along the pretty much flat course all the way back to your car. You have a leisurely 12 hours in which to do it too. Yes you did read that right, the course is essentially flat, for 41 miles. There is a miserable 300ft of climbing on the whole course.
