Trail Run For Women
Aldbury, Hertfordshire
Aldbury, UKSun 2nd August 2020
Organiser's Description
We offer a safe and supporting environment for women to step into exercise and feel great, and because we have found that sometimes women can feel shy and nervous about joining new running clubs, we felt it important to launch our first women’s only run last winter. Due to its success and popularity we are continuing to offer regular women's only trail runs, great for regular runners and also those who are new to trails. Each event will follow a different route, providing new running adventures for those who have already taken part previously.
So, join us for a ladies only 8km guided run through the beautiful woods and open ridgelines of the Chiltern Hills! Along the way you will learn trail running techniques and explore this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, famous for its use in filming locations.

Run Details
We will start each run at the Musette Cafe, based in the quintessentially English village of Aldbury.
All our female guides are all experienced run leaders who not only route find and set the pace, but will also enlighten you on the surrounding area.
