The Springfield Striders Hobble is a self navigation trail race offering approximately 6 and 16 mile routes from Galleywood Common near Chelmsford. The course takes runners across a mixture of paths, tracks and country lanes through the Essex countryside, providing plenty of variety across both distances.
Runners navigate using a written route description issued on race day, with no course markings, marshals or GPX file to follow. Participants start in small groups at timed intervals rather than in a mass start, making navigation an important part of the challenge alongside the varied trail terrain.
Race headquarters are based at the Horse & Groom pub in Galleywood, where runners are timed out before their run and back in on their return. The Hobble is one of Essex's longest established trail races, combining countryside running with independent navigation and a traditional low key race format.
