This will be the sixth staging of this poplar 20 mile road race which will take place on Sunday 24th February 2008 Starting at 10.30am. There is also a supporting run of just under 10 miles (9 miles 703 yards)

The start and finish of The Muscular Dystrophy Bury 20 is in a lime-tree avenue in Nowton Park, Bury St Edmunds, which is situated ½ mile outside Bury St Edmunds on the A134. The accurately measured course has an approximate 1 mile out ‘n’ back section at the beginning and end of the run. The rest of the 18 mile route is made of a single anti-clockwise loop taking in the villages and hamlets of Nowton, High Green, Pinford End, Mickley Green, Melon Green, Lawshall, Hartest, Shimpling, Lawshall again, Stanningfield, Hoggard’s Green, Brook Green, Hawstead, returning back to Nowton and into the park. Throughout the course there are very scenic views of the rolling and undulating West Suffolk countryside.

The shorter run splits from the 20 mile run near the 5-mile mark rejoining the main course near the 17-mile mark.

There is a short section (300m) at the start and at the finish which is on grass, the 20 mile course also has a couple of climbs and the nearly ten course has one climb which may make the course unsuitable for wheelchair competitors. Wheelchair competitors are more then welcome to enter the event if you chose to rise to the challenge.
