Rudolphs Rampage is a festive trail running event in Nailsworth, Gloucestershire, featuring a challenging 10K race and the shorter 3K Rudolphs Dash. Starting from King George V Playing Fields, the routes explore the surrounding Cotswold countryside, with open fields, steep climbs and far reaching views towards Avening and Chavenage.
The 10K trail race follows a predominantly off road route, climbing towards Tetbury Lane before descending towards Avening and tackling further hills on the return to Nailsworth. With demanding ascents, varied terrain and a downhill finish, the course provides a rewarding challenge for trail runners. The 3K Dash offers a shorter, traffic free route for children and families.
Christmas fancy dress and enthusiastic marshals create a lively seasonal atmosphere. Finishers receive a bespoke medal and a home cooked mince muffin, while chip timing and awards for leading runners add a competitive element to this festive Cotswold event.
