FREE ICE CREAM FOR ALL FINISHERS!!

This year sees the 12th outing for our amazing "Sting" event and we'd love for you be part of our wonderful running occasion!!

This year's challenge event will take place on Sunday 13th July 2025 at 10am and we'll once again be offering the unrivalled Sting atmosphere and of course, the legendary Sting hills!

You can look forward to:

• Our famous pre-event warmup 
• A wonderful new finish in Caistor's scenic South Street Park
• A new smaller field limited to just 300 runners - don't miss out!
• The Sting's amazing carnival atmosphere
• A scenic new multi-terrain route
• Free Ice Cream for all finishers
• Post-Race Caistor Goes Sporty festival!
• A secret new Sting finishers' memento which we'll sure you're love (not a vest this year)

For those of you who don't yet know...

Don't be put off by the name!! Yes, it is a challenge, but a very rewarding one 🙂

The event is hosted by Caistor Running Club and is run in and around the lovely Georgian Market town of Caistor on the edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds. The new route features a fast downhill start, before heading off-road through the fields with stunning views of the Lincolnshire countryside, with the second half of the challenging route having a distinctly undulating theme. With fantastic support guaranteed as you pass through Caistor's historic streets, the new route then finishes in the lovely South Street Park. After the event you'll be able to enjoy your free Ice Cream and memento, and we'd love you to stay around for the Caistor Goes Sporty Festival event which takes place in the park during the afternoon.

Numbers will be available beforehand at specially arranged pick-up sessions (like speed dating, but all you get is a race number) and for those who cannot collect them in advance, there will be the option for collection on the day (it will help a lot if you can collect beforehand).

Ample car parking is provided at the Caistor Yarborough School, please follow signs on the day.

Looking forward to seeing you there.

Team Sting
