About Kings Forest East
King’s Forest is a large conifer plantation in Suffolk, north of Bury St Edmunds, managed by Forestry England. The East section includes straight forestry roads, sandy soils, and wide plantation corridors typical of the Breckland landscape.
Terrain is flat to gently rolling. Surfaces include firm forestry gravel with sandy patches depending on the route.
Course Description
The terrain is mostly flat – though there are some deceptive Norfolk slopes to catch you out!!! The trail surfaces are extremely kind to the dogs, being mainly grass and compact sandy trails, however there may be some stretches of loose flints. Dog Boots should not be needed for fit feet. Exact distances will be dictated by weather conditions over the race weekend.
The Forest is a popular area with members of the public for walking dogs and also mountain bikers. Normal courtesy and good behaviour towards members of the public will be appreciated.
