Cannock Chase Trigs
Cannock Chase Trigs is a checkpoint race over a measured route on Cannock Chase. The course covers approximately 26.5 km with around 540 m of ascent, mainly on tracks and paths. Runners must visit a series of checkpoints in order: Start Milford Common (GR 975 210), Rifle Range (995 180), Moors Gorse (025 151) where there is a 65 minute outward-leg cut off, Castle Ring (043 128), Moors Gorse again (025 151), Glacial Boulder (980 181), and finish Milford Common (975 210). The Moors Gorse checkpoint includes a two minute pause both ways to allow safe road crossing and there will be no drinks provided at that checkpoint.
Entry is pre entry only, with entries opening mid October and closing on Monday 6th January 2027. Fees are £13 for FRA members and £15 for non FRA, and entries are limited to 175 competitors. SI timing will be used; runners collect dibbers at registration and a £40 charge applies for any dibber not returned.
FRA mandatory kit must be carried or worn and will be checked: full waterproof body cover, hat, gloves, map, whistle and compass. Registration and parking are at Milford Hall Cricket Club; the start is ten minutes’ walk away at Milford Common so parking is not available at the start. Toilets are available at the Cricket Club and at Milford Common. Post race refreshments and changing rooms with showers are provided at the Cricket Club. Results are posted on the Mercia web site within 24 hours. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
