The Houghton Trail Event | 11K Trail Run

There are five races to choose from that are all mainly off-road and well marshaled. Water is on hand at the start and finish with drink stations at 5km and 9km along the 11K run. The routes are not suitable for wheelchairs or pushchairs and all children under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult. The 11k Trail Run/11K Canicross Run - These races are situated in the beautiful Test valley, with a stunning section of bluebells at around 6km. It is mainly off-road resonable terrain, with only a couple of areas where it is rutted. Being a little longer than the standard 10K run, this attracts middle and long distance runners as well as fun runners and walkers. The run joins the Test Way around 8/9Km and The Clarendon Way at around 10Km, crossing the River Test several times in the process. There are two variants to choose from; the regular 11k and 11k Canicross for runner with dogs. Both take the same route but start at different times and the results for each are listed separately. Water is supplied for dogs and humans at drink stations throughout the trail. The 14k and 32k Cycle Rides - These take a different route to the runners and boast stunning scenery, with only one or two steep hills. There is a mixture of road and off road sections and marshals are posted at all intersections. The 4k Fun Run - This is all off-road and reasonably flat with one style to leap over. Perfect for children!
