Step up to the challenge of the Maverick Race Chilterns Trail, an unforgettable journey through the breathtaking Chiltern Hills. Starting from the vibrant market town of Princes Risborough, just an hour from London, with direct rail links from London Marylebone. The route will take you deep into one of England’s most picturesque and historic landscapes.
The route winds across ancient beech woodlands, sweeping ridgelines, and hidden valleys, revealing far-reaching views across the Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire countryside.
