Thetford Trails Summer Series

Thetford Forest, Norfolk

High Lodge, Brandon IP27 0AF, UK

Thu 3rd June 2021

Organiser's Description

Make the most of those long summer evenings, and join runners who are leaving the tarmac and traffic behind and hitting the beautiful trails of Thetford Forest. The 10km run takes them through the forest, along winding trails on great quality tracks. This atmospheric location, with its tall pines, brings each runner a little closer to nature. There's also a chance to share the experience with your canine friend; the 10km Canicross starts after the main race.

The race starts and finishes at High Lodge, which is a recreational site set in the heart of Thetford Forest offering extensive play areas, walking and cycling trails. There's a café, bike hire, as well as additional attractions for the whole family to enjoy.

If you're a park runner, these runs are the perfect way to challenge yourself. Chip timing and 5km split results are provided for each event so that runners can monitor their improvement across each race. Headphones are allowed.

We're working hard to reduce, reuse and recycle so please help us keep this event plastic-free!
