Summer 10k Series

BACKGROUND

Join us this summer for a pre-breakfast 10km guided run through the beautiful woods and open ridgelines of the Chiltern Hills! Along the way you will learn trail running techniques and explore this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, famous for its use in filming locations.

We will start each run at Ashridge House which is a stunning country estate based in the woods of Ashridge, in the Chilterns. We will end the run back at Ashridge where there is a cafe which is a great place to get a post run refreshment! Each 10km route will be different in this summer trail running series! It's a great way to stay motivated and make some new trail running friends. Sign-up to all 3 events in one-go and benefit from a discount!

As with all Run the Wild events, it's a team event so you will be grouped with similar ability runners and led by one of our experienced Run Leaders. We walk anything too steep and it's a good opportunity to get some trail running tips from our leaders along the way.

We have safe COVID-19 working practices in place which ensure social distancing and maximum numbers are relevant to current government guidelines. Your safety and enjoyment are our priority.
