Organiser's Description

Our forests are the perfect place to run, and this autumn we are excited for the return of Forest Runner, a collection of 5k and 10k trail run events hosted at twelve of our beautiful forests across England. The proceeds from your ticket go back into Forestry England, helping us to grow, shape and care for the nation's forests. Forest Runner events are managed in partnership with Events of the North

Salcey Forest is an oasis of nature and history. This magnificent woodland has many miles of ancient wood banks, building remains and ancient trees, with some of the veteran oaks believed to be up to 600 years old. Enjoy this run through beautiful tree lined avenues and alongside scenic ponds.

Great location, beautiful scenery with the October sun coming through the trees, interesting course with changing path conditions, mostly flat. Great organisation. A bug thank you to all helpers!

Fab course, my first ever 5K race. I loved it! Beautiful venue, well marked course and brilliant organisation. I appreciated it all from the volunteers and encouragement to the wooden medal and goody bag at the finish line. The organisers even arranged for perfect weather! Thank you so much.

This is one of the best runs I have done in the UK! There was a water station half way through and the trail was a wonderful, large route. There are toilets by the start/finish, cafe and the trail was very well marked. It was a wonderful experience. Highly recommend.
