Bluebell 13k
Organiser's Description
Join us this spring time for a stunning trail run through the bluebell carpeted forest of Ashridge in the Chiltern Hills! It's a fun morning out on the trails, starting at the Musette Cafe in the quintessentially English village of Aldbury in Hertfordshire.
All abilities are catered for, so whether you want to push your speed, or prefer a more relaxed morning out, you will be well looked after. As with all Run the Wild events, it's a team event so you will be grouped with similar ability runners, and each group will be led by one of our experienced Run Leaders who will route find and set the pace for you. We walk anything too steep, and it's a good opportunity to get some trail running tips from our expert local guides along the way.

You will need to arrange your own transport to the start of the adventure in Aldbury, but there are regular trains from London Euston to Tring Station, which take around 40 minutes, and it's only a short walk to the meeting point. There is also an onsite free car park should you prefer to drive.
The event is inclusive to new trail runners and also those who are regularly out on the trails. We will group participants by their ability but you need to have run 5km non-stop in the past (doesn't need to have been a race time). We will cater for the following paces: 7-9km, 9-11km, 11km+ an hour on the flat or road.
