Elves 11ish Trail is organised by Top Day Events in Maldon, Essex. The festive race offers approximately 11 miles of countryside running between Maldon and Mundon, with participants navigating their own way around the course using written route instructions.
The circular route is approximately 95% off road, following a variety of trails and paths through the Essex countryside. Unlike conventional trail races, there are no directional arrows or course marshals, so runners must follow the instructions carefully to find their way. The self navigation format adds an extra challenge, while the predominantly rural setting provides an opportunity to explore the landscape surrounding Maldon.
Runners start individually during a designated morning window, with their finishing times calculated from their own departure times. A stocked checkpoint at approximately seven miles provides refreshments, while finishers receive a medal, snacks and a hot drink. Festive fancy dress is encouraged, adding to the friendly atmosphere.
