Celebrating local trails. A thoroughly enjoyable event celebrating the local trails and landscapes. Joshua G

A gem of a race. Wonderfully organised and friendly 50 mile trail race over excellent terrain. Brian H

When non-trail runners go trail…. Loved it, very challenging but ultimately very worth it. Emma E

Beautiful, well-organised, and challenging but runnable route. Could do with an extra waymarker here and there, but overall a well-organised race with some beautiful scenery along the way. Tino O

Great small event. Dave N

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.
