Quantock hills trail run! 10K & half marathon - SOLD OUT

Quantock Hills trail run - 10K & half marathon!

Join us for an awesome run setting off from Kilve Court heading up onto the Quantock Hills - A stunning area of outstanding natural beauty!!

Working closely with the Quantocks AONB service, Natural England and The National Trust we have put together the 10K and half marathon distance runs which take on some challenging hills, technical trails through beautiful forests, quiet country lanes and vast open moorland. 

Along the route expect stiles, gates, uneven rugged terrain, stream crossings (stepping stones/log balances might be involved) which will all add to the experince of a fun and exciting trail run! 

The 10K Route and half marathon will have well stocked feed stations along the way! These routes are both technically challenging and hilly so we will aim to provide great fueling/water stations with something for everyone, helping you get to the finish line where you will be rewarded with an epic wooden medal & other goodies!

We look forward to seeing you at the event and can’t wait for you to experience this amazing trail route!!

Overnight Camping & Heated shared cabins...

For the first time we are offering you the option to stay the night before the event.. You can either camp, have an entire bunk house for 5 people or share one of the bunk houses. The heated cabins/bunk houses are very basic, with a simple single bed/bunk bed so you will need to provide your own sleeping bag/duvet/pillow ect. There are simply a dry place to sleep the day before the event as an alternative to camping or expensive local accomdation. 

If you select the option to share a cabin these will be mixed and with different people, a great way to meet new people who no doubt share some of the same interests! If you have a group of people you want to stay with, please let me know in advance or select the entire bunk house option when booking.
