All courses will be within the perimeter fence of the base. Assembly and parking will be outside. The terrain is fast and flat with an array of unusual buildings not on any regular layout, punctuated by iconic items of historical military hardware. We expect this will make for highly enjoyable sprint running for all age classes.
RAF Honington is located about 9 miles NNE of Bury St Edmunds, a journey of about 10 miles by road from Bury St Edmunds, and 40 miles by road from Norwich. Public transport options to RAF Honington are limited; Bus 332 links RAF Honington with Bury St Edmunds, around 30 minute journey time, but only a limited number of services operate on a Saturday.
