Trail Escape Edinburgh

What is included in my entry fee?

All Trail Escapes will be timed. Routes will be well marshalled and signed throughout. Aid stations will provide hydration and nutrition. All finishers will receive an event T-shirt and Medal.

Will the route distance be accurate?

We will do our best to create routes that are as close to 26.2miles and 25km as possible but given the nature of off-road running it is difficult to be as accurate with route distances as road running events. We will ensure that each route is at least 26.2miles and will communicate closer to event day the exact distance.

Can spectators access the route?

There will be plenty of spots for your supporters to cheer you on across the route. We are working on the detail of the most scenic, easy to reach and safe locations for spectating and we will be able to share in due course.

What time does the event start?

Trail Escape events are split into two categories - Run and Hike/Walk. If you plan to run or run/walk then you need to select this choice in the booking journey and you will start at 8am. If you plan to hike/walk the Trail Escape (Marathon or 25k) then please choose this option in the booking journey and you will start at 8.15am

Can I run with my dog?

TBC. We are planning routes that may go across farmland and near to livestock and there may be issues with dogs accessing this land. Once routes are confirmed we will be able to confirm whether dogs are able to join you.

What is the age limit?

All runners and hike/walkers must be 18 or older on day the event takes place.

What is the difference between Run and Hike/Walk?

There is no difference in the route or terrain. All participants will follow the same route. The difference in categories are to make sure all runners access the route first and ensure runners are not overtaking walkers. We expect the routes to be single-tracks in places so to be fair to all we need to split people out.

Will there be a cut-off time?

Yes there will be cut-off times for each Trail Escape. At this stage in our planning we are working to a 10hr time-limit, which is less than 3miles per hour. The routes will be clearly marked and marshalled to ensure participants don't get lost.

Can I transfer or defer my entry?

Yes we will accept transfers and deferrals. The will be a £10 admin fee to manage the changes.

Can I transfer my entry to another event?

Yes! For example you may enter Trail Escape City No.1 but change your mind and want to take part in City No.2. We will allow you to transfer your entry to a different Trail Escape city for an admin fee of £10.

Can I get a refund?

We are afraid we cannot offer refunds. If the event is postponed your entry will automatically be deferred to the new event date. If you cannot take part in the new date you can transfer your entry to another person, or defer your entry to a future event?
