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.

The St Helena Hospice Half Marathon begins at Low Road Recreational Ground in Harwich, Essex, with runners starting at 10:00 AM.

The race supports St Helena Hospice, a Colchester charity providing palliative and end-of-life care for individuals in north east Essex. The hospice extends its support to families, friends, carers, and those experiencing bereavement. The inaugural half marathon was established to commemorate 40 years of hospice services in the community, and participation is capped.

Endurancelife Suffolk begins in Dunwich on the East Suffolk coast, offering 10K, half marathon, marathon, and ultra distances on the same day. It is part of the Endurancelife Coastal Trail Series. This particular event is notably flat and fast, differing from many of the organiser’s more hilly trail races. Runners completing any distance gain points for the season leaderboard, making it suitable as an individual coastal run or as part of the series competition. The course crosses protected and managed countryside, including forest tracks, beach sections, a dyke, heathland, villages, nature reserves, and paths near RSPB Minsmere. Organisations such as Natural England, the RSPB, and the National Trust help maintain the area, thus the event emphasizes runners' respect for the landscape. The half marathon commences after the marathon, with the routes converging later, which helps maintain a cohesive field even on the longer distances.

This is the event's sixth running and it is part of Zig Zag Running's Christmas-season schedule. The course is mostly pathway, with a smaller section of trail and woodland, so road shoes are generally suitable, though trail shoes might be considered after wet weather. The lap format allows participants to stop at a short distance or continue adding loops within the time limit; a heavy half typically involves five laps, while the ultra begins with nine laps and can extend further if time permits. The venue is self-contained, with exclusive use of the main area, an aid station at the lap point, registration at Oak Lodge, and refreshments available after finishing. Festive attire is encouraged, finishers receive a bespoke medal or a past medal via lucky dip, and a portion of each entry fee supports forest and woodland care.

The course is a single, fairly level rural lap, offering a straightforward measured loop through the countryside with minimal climbing. Results are listed across several past editions, showing verification status, which is useful for runners checking previous performances or comparing times year to year.

WTF - Where's The Finish Run begins the New Year at Brandon Country Park in Brandon, Suffolk, situated in Thetford Forest. This is a timed lap race, not a fixed-distance event. Runners select either a 6-hour or a 4-hour start, completing as many 5.3 km laps as desired before their time concludes. The structure allows participants to finish after an initial 5k or 10k, progress to a half or full marathon distance, or continue into ultra territory on the same circuit. The lap course consists of gravel footpaths and some grassy sections, with marshals present and an aid station at Base Camp after each circuit. Rest periods between laps are permitted. Anyone departing Base Camp before the time limit expires is allowed to finish an additional lap, which is the origin of the race's name. A standard half marathon comprises five laps, with the possibility to extend on the day, while the standard ultra is nine laps and can be extended further if time permits. The arrangement is suitable for both novice and seasoned runners due to minimal navigation requirements, no mandatory special equipment, and simpler logistics compared to many trail ultras.
