666 Trail Run

View all races for Nov 2026

666 Trail Run is organised by Ashford Tri Club in Kings Wood near Challock, Kent. Established in 2010, the race takes its unusual name from the original course distance of 6.66 miles, offering runners a demanding woodland challenge through one of the county's largest forests.

The route follows a mixture of gravel tracks, muddy woodland paths and steep banks through Kings Wood. Runners encounter uneven ground, slippery surfaces and challenging climbs, with some sections historically requiring ropes to assist the ascent. The course is approximately 6.66 miles, although the actual distance can vary slightly. A demanding final mile adds to the challenge before runners return towards the finish.

For runners, this is a test of strength, balance and endurance rather than a conventional fast trail race. Marshals provide encouragement and guidance around the woodland course, while the limited field helps maintain the friendly atmosphere of this established Kent event.
