All finishers will receive a goody bag which includes a fantastic Forest Runner neck tube. Beautiful solid oak trophies are up for grabs as well as some super prizes from our event sponsors, Merrell.

Not only that, you’re helping us to plant more trees; all profits go back into your local forest so that we can keep growing, shaping and caring for our forests across the nation.
Forest Runner events are managed in partnership with Events of the North.

Both the 5k and the 10k routes lead you into a mixture of broadleaf and mature pines. You'll run past Robin Hood's Whetstone along the medieval coach road, onto Pittance Dale. The course is undulating with a mix of fire road and single track.
