UPDATE:
Unfortunately we’ve had to make the decision to postpone our road trips for this summer.
Understandably, the sharp rise in fuel prices (and non-availability of fuel in some places) has meant that people are more hesitant than normal to make travel plans. We hope to schedule them for other dates in the future.
Love exploring new trails? Need a change of scenery? Want to combine running with a social event...?
Throughout the summer of 2026, we'll be heading off on a series of trail running road trips to some of the UK's best trail running spots!
The Summer Road Trips we'll be hosting in 2026 will be:
-
The Jurassic Coast, Dorset - Sunday 10th May
-
The Gower, South Wales - Saturday 18th July
The itinerary of each trip will involve several runs of 5-15km each, in various locations across the region. If preferred, attendees are welcome to sit-out a run if they want to; the aim for each Summer Road Trip is that every runner has the best experience possible.
Car sharing
Let's do everything we can to car share. It's less-worse for the environment, saves money on fuel and exorbitant parking charges, and adds to the overall experience!
Your booking confirmation will contain a link to a document which will be used for attendees to co-ordinate car sharing and travel plans.
