This run is suitable for adult runners of all abilities and paces. We are committed to ensuring everyone enjoys the run and will make sure no one is left behind.
The Route
We’ll cover approximately 10 miles on a mix of trails and pathways around Wye Downs. Expect rolling hills, beautiful views, and some muddy sections—it’s all part of the fun!
It is a single looped route taking us up onto the Wye Downs taking us past the stunning Devils Kneading Trough and Wye Crown.
The route will not be marked, so runners are encouraged to download the GPX file or stay with others who have access to the map. If you’re unsure of the way at any point, please wait for the next group of runners to catch up.
