Whether you’re an experienced trail runner or a newbie looking for more experience, I organise these guided trail runs to cater for all abilities, and this run is a perfect follow up for someone that has already done one of my “Intro To Trail Running” sessions. I have lots of experience on the trails around East Anglia and try to plan routes with a real variety of terrain, so even if you have experience on the trails I can still find new trails for you to explore. On this run we will explore the forest and heath of Brandon Country park with the option of stopping for a cuppa and cake afterwards in the park Tearooms.

FAQs

Distance?

5-6 miles – Please note that whilst aiming to be as accurate to this as possible, in some circumstances I may be slightly over or under this mileage, but this will be very slightly.

What pace will we be running at?

We will be running at a casual, social pace. These runs are not a race so please be aware that you may not be the slowest runner and we will be running at the pace of the slowest person.

How long will we be running?

I allow 2 hours for this event, but this will depend on the abilities of the people attending. I want everyone to be able to enjoy it without feeling rushed, and to have time to answer any questions that you may have.

Parking?

There is plenty of parking, this is pay and display so please bring change for the machine.

Toilets?

There are public toilets behind the tearooms.

What will I need?

Whilst this run will not be over too technical terrain, I would advise trail shoes if possible, the route is mostly sandy tracks that drain quite well, and road shoes will do if we’ve had dry weather. If you need any advice on shoes before joining me on a run, please feel free to send me a message and I will do my best to advise.

A waterproof jacket and, depending on the weather conditions, sun cream.

Enough water and snacks to last, with preferably at least 500ml of water.

Most importantly a willingness to have fun.

Refunds?

Although I do not offer refunds in general, if the event is cancelled due to conditions out of my control, where possible I will give at least 24 hours notice, and I will offer a transfer to another event or an 100% refund.
