Camping

Camping is available for the 10 and 20 mile runs, and is at race HQ in the wonderfully picturesque Castle Farm in Fotheringhay, next to the River Nene and the remains of Fotheringhay Castle where Mary Queen of Scots was beheaded.

Add camping or camper-vanning to your race entry when you book via SiEntries HERE and enjoy staying over on Friday and Saturday nights and make the most of this beautiful, historic area.

Camping Friday and Saturday nights is £9 per adult per night, kids free.

Entry to the campsite is 3pm to 8pm Friday, or on Saturday afternoon when the last runner has finished. Entry is not possible Saturday morning as the races start at 9am and we can’t have cars on the track into the farm. Entry is via 300m of single track gravel road, the field is a little uneven and might be muddy after heavy rain.

Exit is permitted from 4pm Saturday or after the last runner has returned. Last possible exit time is 3pm Sunday.

The campsite has portaloos from the race all weekend, there is an outside drinkable water tap but no electric hook up or showers. There is a lovely river adjacent to the camping field which many locals use for swimming and paddleboarding which you can use at your own risk.

Sorry we are not permitted to have open fires or BBQs at the campsite. Camping stoves only.

The flatter area of the campsite will be reserved for campervans and caravans, so please just have a quick check with one of us (who will be roaming around somewhere in the field!) before you get all settled as we would hate to have to relocate you! You can camp pretty much where you like but if all the event gazebos etc are not up yet please check with us to make sure. Thank you!

You are allowed to swim in the beautiful river beside the campsite but this is entirely at your own risk and we are not responsible for any swimming – it is not covered on our insurance.

Closest grocery store is Oundle Co-op about 10 mins south by car.

There is also Castle Farm Guest House next door and plenty of B&B and hotel options in the nearby villages and city of Peterborough if you don’t like the idea of a night under canvas.
