So the Stort30 is now 4 years old and the first race I ever organised and easily my most popular with it averaging around 200 runners each year and set to increase towards our 350 runner limit.
The Stort30 is a lovely out and back route along the river Stort from Bishops’s Stortford to the River Lee and then a short distance to Rye House and back to Bishop’s Stortford. Cut off is 3.5 hour for half way and 7 hours for the full distance. The trail is mostly beautiful riverside paths with either grassy trail or graded gravel towpath with a few slightly muddy sections if its been raining recently.
