Each challenge will start and finish at a cafe so we can stop in after for an optional brew and refuel (bring a few pennies) You are welcome to join us for any or all of the group runs. Come along and see what trail running is all about.
We have lined up some easy but interesting routes for you to enjoy, you won't need any technical/trail running shoes to join us although you might want to consider a change for after as one thing we might have to include is a little mud!
