The Last Legend

Woodlands Park on Oaklands Road gives The Last Legend a distinct character: a local, loop-based running event with a measure of race-day tenacity. The setting also has a relevant backstory, with the event benefiting Living Legends, a facility for retired racehorses, and Canteen, which supports young people with cancer. The format is the draw: all participants run the same circuit, restarting under a decreasing time limit until the fixed entry is completed or the unlimited challenge reaches your limit. It is the type of course where you become familiar with every turn and surface, then must persuade yourself to complete another lap. Bibs are distributed on race morning, and a portion of each entry fee supports Canteen, giving the day a practical, community-focused feel instead of a grand spectacle.
