A serene lake with clear blue-green water surrounded by lush greenery and dense trees under a partly cloudy sky. The reflections of the trees and the sky create a picturesque and tranquil scene. A group of people running on a dirt path through a grassy field during sunset. They appear to be participating in a trail run. The sky is clear, and the landscape features rolling hills and scattered trees. Two people wearing headlamps walk through a dark, foggy environment. A third person is visible in the background. The scene is dimly lit, with beams of light cutting through the darkness. Two people jogging on a forest trail with trees surrounding them. The sun is shining through the leaves, casting dappled light on the path. Both are wearing tank tops and shorts, with others visible in the background.

Organiser's Description

Join this stunning guided trail run, starting and finishing at Silent Pool, a place admired by poet, Alfred Tennyson, considered a sacred site, haunted by the ghost of a young girl forced into the water by King John in the 1100's and most famously, home to the Silent Pool Gin Distillery. More importantly, it's home to some amazing trails.

We will enjoy some great trails including some of the North Downs Way and the beautiful forest of Netley Heath before dropping down to the famous village of Shere, where we will pass film locations from 'The Holiday' and 'Bridget Jones Diary'. The route will include some nice wide trails (great for chatting) and some fun single track trails (which are a lot of fun) along the way.

This run is perfect for people new to trail running, runners who simply like to run with like minded people, or those that haven't felt comfortable running trails alone at dusk or night.

You will be guided by Matt Buck, an experienced ultra runner, running coach and Salomon ambassador. You don't need to worry about where you are going or the route we will take, I will take care of everything so all you need to do is concentrate on running and having fun.
