Starting on the road adjacent to the Speech House Hotel in the heart of the forest, the course then leaves the road to follow a loop of well maintained forest trails (with gentle inclines) before eventually leading back to the Speech House Hotel for the finish.
This year we have not only been chosen by the Trail Running Association to again host the British Trail Running Championships - Short Distance event but also England Athletics will use our Spring Trails Half Marathon as a qualifier event for their Age Group Masters Trail Running Championship. We shall have participants from first time half marathon walkers through to national level athletes, all receiving great support from marshals and spectators alike.
