About Badger Challenge & Canicross
On 26 February 2027, Beacon Hill Country Park in Charnwood plays host to the Badger Challenge, a six-hour timed trail event where runners complete as many 3.3-mile laps as they wish within the time limit. This means participants can run a single lap for a 5K distance, or tackle multiple laps to reach 50 miles or beyond—the choice is entirely theirs.
The flexible format suits everyone from first-timers to experienced ultrarunners, and dogs are welcome to join on leads for those interested in canicross. An aid station stocks food and drinks at each lap, and runners can opt for an eco-friendly tree token instead of a traditional medal through the Earth Runs partnership.
