Event overview

Come and join Black Trail Runners at our Black to the Trails event and run 1K, 5K, 10K - or our brand new and improved Scotch Bonnet 10K - on some of the most beautiful trails the South East has to offer. Black to the Trails, by Black Trail Runners, is the World’s most ethnically diverse trail running event and, in 2025, it’s going to even bigger and better! Once again the event has been designed and will be directed and run by Black Trail Runners for Black people, people of colour, and White allies who want to do their bit to diversify the UK trail running scene. Black to the Trails is an inclusive run event for EVERYONE no matter what your ability. There are distances for the kids (under 16s go free!), the brand new and the more experienced trail runner. This event will be truly unique in its offering to all who attend. Once again, we’ll be bringing feel-good carnival vibes to Dunstable Downs. We guarantee, you’ll come for the run and stay for the fun! Throughout the morning, as well as the run distances on offer, we’ll have a variety of activities, food, live music and much more to keep your post-run endorphins raised and the party vibes high.

4 steps to wellbeing
Sleep well

A good night's sleep is an essential foundation for a healthy lifestyle, effective training and weight control.

Train slow

Low-intensity training is easier for you, reduces the risk of injury and helps builds an efficient aerobic system.

Eat natural

Cut out sugar & junk food, reduce carbs, eat natural foods and train your body to burn fat for fuel.

Get outdoors

Fresh air, natural light and reconnecting with nature all help to improve mental and physical wellbeing.
