Where we run
We're lucky enough to run in the beautiful Stour Valley. It's a gentle countryside of rolling fields, copses, water meadows, and big skies. We have a selection of routes from just south of Bury St Edmunds to a little south of Sudbury. We like to make sure our runs are on quiet footpaths in the area, and always welcome more suggestions of pretty places to run. If there's a teashop at the end, well, that's a bonus.
The Stour itself is 47 miles long. It rises east of Newmarket and meanders gently down through the coast to Harwich, and forms most of the border between the counties of Suffolk and Essex. We tend to run in the upper half of the valley, in a loose arc roughly centred around Sudbury, leaving downstream to our friends at Colchester Canicross.
