Event overview

Are you nervous about entering a Trail Race. The cut off for this race is approximately 2 hours, nobody will get timed out. The course is fully marked. Trail races are more welcoming and definitely more fun than running on roads! This race has everything you would want in a Trail Race. Great views set on lovely trails. We describe the route as undulating :) This race also has great facilities for the whole family. Herrington Country Park has a children's play area, woodland walks and fun trail walks. There is also a great cafe and an ice cream van on the park as well.

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.
