One More Lap for Warrington Youth Zone is Warringtonâs 12-hour charity ultramarathon, and the most fun youâll ever have running round in small circles. Teams of 4â6 take turns to run relay-style round a 400m loop at Warrington's Vicky Park, from 8am âtil 8pm.
In between thereâs live music, street food, decorated gazebos, cheering support crews and FREE ICE CREAM đŠ
Social Running đ€ Social Good
Parkrun pals, the run club gals, work buddies or the lot from five-a-side? If youâve got a group chat, youâve got an OML team.
OMLâs free to enter. Instead, teams pledge to raise money for Warrington Youth Zone, a local charity giving the townâs young people somewhere to find their passion and purpose.
We're only asking you to raise ÂŁ100 per runner. That's just ten pounds from ten pals.
Weâll help you get your fundraising going and teams regularly smash their targets. In fact, they've raised ÂŁ52k since 2025 đ
Your Team Challenge
OML is a challenge. But how far you push yourself is up to you.
Run it, walk it, do it dressed as an inflatable dinosaur đŠ
With your team cheering you on, you might find youâve got a little more left in the tank than you thought.

A TEAM CHALLENGE
Shared suffering is _so_ much more enjoyable
Actually, you don't have to suffer at One More Lap at all. It's completely optional. Here's how the running part of One More Lap goes on the day:
1. Team
One More Lap’s a team event.
Your team can have between 4 & 6 runners, who’ll take it in turns, relay style, to lap the OML course, one runner at a time.
Tall, short, fast, slow, Nike Alphafly 4s, Crocs, boy, girl, runner, walker. Everyone's welcome and anyone can be on your team, in any combination. There are no rules.
Notes from Ian: There are rules: No roller skates. Also, you can run solo. If you fancy it, drop me a note.
2. Run
How you & your team run One More Lap is completely down to you.
Want to split the effort evenly with everyone running the same amount? That’s fine. Let your team’s Forrest Gump do the lion’s share of running? That’s fine too. Or why not go wild and swap runners after every lap?
If you're an experienced runner, you can push yourself. If you're happier running 5k, why not aim for a new PB distance?
Whatever you do, it’s your laps, run at your pace. You decide.
3. Rest
When you’ve done some laps, pass the baton and come back into camp for a rest.
You and your team can take a break whenever you want. Although you can only have one runner on the course at once, you don’t always have to have someone running.
So have a break, have a Kit Kat, enjoy a little camp life then get back on the laps again when you’re ready.
"The base camp, the entertainment, the coffee shop van, the fun vibes, it was SUCH a great day."
A.N. Other-Runner — OML 2025.
Fundraising Festival of Running
One More Lap's so much more than just another ultra though. It's a day-long fundraising festival of running.
Our Event Camps are filled with music & laughter, food & drink and buzzing with the energy of runners & your support crew cheering you on.
It’s guaranteed to be a day you’ll never forget. Promise.
Let’s build the camp together
Your team needs to bring a gazebo or tent that’s big enough to fit you and all your supplies in.
There’ll be plenty of room on the field so if you’ve got a big one, feel free to bring it.
Plus, you’ll likely be in camp for a fair while so something to sit on – camping chairs, inflatable sofas, hammocks. You decide.
Best Dressed Pitch Award đ
We'd love you to turn your corner of the camp into "Your Happy Place" – whatever and wherever that might be.
Why not transform your pitch into a pub? How about spending the day at the spa (or Spar?). Maybe stretch out on a sun lounger while listening to hula music. It’s up to you…
There’s a fabulous Fortnum & Mason’s hamper & some champagne up for grabs for the Best Dressed Pitch
So, get your thinking caps on, get out of your pain cave, and help us make camp an ultra-Happy Place.

Frequently Asked Questions
No, you absolutely donât need to be an ultra-runner. In fact, if you can already run 5 to 10km, you can enjoy being part of One More Lap.
OML is an ultra for parkrunners? No Jokes.
And if you're still wondering what actually counts as an ultramarathon, we've got you covered.
No, this is a team event.
You run for as long as you want to, do as many laps as you want to, then swap over with another runner on your team. Teams have between 4 and 6 runners on them. So, you can do the maths; youâll probably be running between 2 and 3 hours across the day.
And if you're wondering how to prepare for a day of stop-start running, our Get Race Ready guide has some useful advice on training, nutrition and hydration.
Teams are between 4 and 6 runners. It makes the maths easier for dividing up the running. Although when youâre 10 hours into a 12-hour run, no maths is easy maths.
Just like our dancing, registering for One More Lap only has two steps.
Step One â Be the leader you were born to be.
Find your event on our One More Lap events page. Click the Register Your Team button and book your team's free spot at One More Lap. It'll take you less time than running 400 metres. Promise.
Step Two â Assemble your crack team of runners.
Once you've registered, you'll get a link to share with your teammates so they can send us their details. Don't worry if you haven't got everyone sorted yet. You can do that later.
And that's it. Once we've got your team details, you're in!
No, don't let that stop you from signing up. If you think you know who else will be on the team, go ahead a register.
Obviously, you'll have to tell them at some point that you've signed them up to a 12-hour ultramarathon and they've got to fundraise ÂŁ100 for charity.
But it doesn't have to be before you register your team.
Yes, walkingâs no problem at all. In fact, we have some teams who decide to walk the whole thing and thatâs great. Come and do One More Lap your way.
Itâs dead simple really. It works exactly like the relays you see at the Olympics. Every team gets a baton. One runner at a time carries the baton round the course. When theyâve done their laps, they come back to camp and pass the baton onto the next runner.
There are a couple of tiny differences from the Olympics though.
Our batons are really slap bands, so you donât have to worry about carrying it round with you.
You can have more than one runner running together at a time if you want, but only the laps of the runner with the baton will count.
You can run as many times as you want to across the day, and thereâs no fixed order in which you have to run.
And you and your team can take a break whenever you want. There's no rule abour having someone out running all the time.
Yes! Itâs really free to enter One More Lap. There is no registration fee when you sign up BUTâŠ
When you do sign up you're committing to raise some money for charity.
By signing up to One More Lap youâre committing to hit a fundraising target.
That might sound scary but weâre reasonable people. So, we're only asking you to raise ÂŁ100 per runner.
This is a team target though. So, if you have 4 runners, weâd like you to raise at least ÂŁ400 as a team. If you have 6 runners, you got it, weâd like you to raise at least ÂŁ600.
Need a little help hitting your target? We've put together ten fundraising tips to help you get there.
For every runner who doesnât reach their target a fairy loses its wings. Possibly.
Not every runner will make it to their ÂŁ100 target. We get that. So, your fundraising target is a team target. If you think youâre going to miss your target, first step is to chat to the rest of the team.
Plus, weâve got a whole bucket of tips to help you get to your target and beyond.
Ultimately, if you donât make it, you can still come and run. We appreciate every penny youâve helped raise.
Absolutely, the more the merrier. Invite them along to enjoy a taste of camp life. Thereâll be live music, thereâll be coffees & cakes, thereâll be fun & games. Plus youâll probably need them to bring you that spare pair of socks you left on the bed/some anti-chafe gel/MORE CARBS.
We let anyone over 12 come and be part of One More Lap.
We do have some extra rules about how much under 18s can run, and whether they can run alone, depending on their age.
Drop Ian a note for more details.
There are toilets. One More Lap is an endurance challenge, but that challenge isnât âcan you hold onto a wee for 12 hoursâ.
