This venue offers loads of inside space with permanent loos and hot showers as well as a large area of hard parking. Access could not be easier, being only 3 miles from Salisbury city centre. 

As my first trail running event, I genuinely couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Extremely well organised with an incredible route and a lovely crowd of people. Everything from the start to the aid stations was well stocked and the route perfectly signposted, which really helped as a first-timer. You can tell the organisers are passionate and go above and beyond to support runners throughout the day. A joy to experience and one I’ll be recommending to everyone. William A

Keep it as it is. I’ll always take part. Kelvyn W

Absolutely fantastic event with seamless organisation! Sigrid L

A really fantastic event set in beautiful countryside. Very well run with excellent facilities. Emma D

Great course that felt relatively easy for me, making it a very enjoyable run — and the medal was fantastic. Kate L

My first 10k and everyone was so lovely. As the last person on the trail, runners were supportive and never made us feel pressured. The route was very well signposted and the halfway goodie stop, complete with music, was perfect. I will return. Debbie B

Really well thought-out trail with a great mix of road and paths, plus brilliant views of the Chase. I’ll definitely be booking again. James Y

This was my first ever 10k and I had no idea what to expect, but everything was a breeze from registration to navigation. The route was clearly signed with arrows and marshals throughout, and the halfway fruit station was a welcome bonus. A fantastic scenic run with wide open spaces and great views. The organisers and runners were incredibly encouraging, making this a really positive experience for a newbie. Andy W

Brilliant trail run. This is my fifth year running with Tri County Trail Running and I love it — beautiful venues with well organised and well planned routes. Kate R

Superstars of an organising team. Despite issues with signs being taken down, the race director and volunteers handled it brilliantly. I’ll be back next year. Matthew B

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.
