The London Epping Forest Ultra and EcoTrail 25 is a trail running event held in Epping Forest, bordering London. The EcoTrail 25 covers 25 kilometers, positioning it between a road half marathon and a full ultra marathon. It is a distance requiring pacing strategy, distinct from a full-day mountain race. Available results suggest a morning start, with runner times logged by chip rather than gun. The course specifics are limited, but the name and distance indicate a 25,000-meter trail race connected to the broader London Epping Forest Ultra series. The results show 206 finishers for the EcoTrail 25. One participant finished 80th in 2:28:39, averaging 5:56 per kilometer. Splits were recorded at the halfway point and the finish, allowing for analysis of performance during the latter half of the race.

The Thompson Millennium Green 10K & 5K is an annual village run held in Thompson, Norfolk. It begins at 11:00 am from the Green, postcode IP24 1PU. The event features a 10K run and a 5K fun run. Both races utilize mixed surfaces, including paths, lanes, bridleways, farm tracks, and byroads surrounding the village, rather than closed city streets. The courses are relatively flat, offering opportunities for personal bests, and the 5K provides a shorter option for families and newer participants within the same rural setting. The 10K route commences on Thompson Millennium Green, proceeds through farmland tracks and byroads, connects with Griston Road, passes the Chequers pub, and concludes back on the Green. The 5K follows a comparable out-and-back village course. Volunteers organize the event to generate funds for Thompson Millennium Green, which is the Green’s primary annual fundraiser. Proceeds support its maintenance and development. The event relies significantly on local assistance, including marshals, timekeepers, car park attendants, finish-line photographers, kitchen volunteers, BBQ staff, and bakers contributing cakes. All finishers are awarded custom medals, leading runners receive trophies, and the post-race arrangements typically include hot dogs, refreshments, and homemade baked goods.
