About the race
The Epney Trail Run is a small-scale, community trail race held in the village of Epney, Gloucestershire. The route covers approximately 11 miles (17 km) with around 70 m of elevation gain and starts and finishes at The Anchor Inn.
The course is a clearly marked circular route that follows the Gloucester to Sharpness Canal towpath and local public footpaths, including sections of the Severn Way. The terrain is predominantly flat and off road, with a mix of towpath and trail surfaces. Underfoot conditions may vary with weather and can include uneven or muddy sections; a GPX file of the route will be provided in advance for reference.
The event will be marshalled at key points and includes one aid station approximately halfway. First aid provision will be in place, and participants are responsible for their own safety and should be prepared for the conditions on the day. The minimum age to enter is 17 years. At least £3 from every entry supports the Canal & River Trust.
The event is licensed by the Trail Running Association and held in accordance with UK Athletics rules. Participants must be sufficiently fit and experienced to complete the distance, follow directions from organisers and marshals, and show consideration to other path users while the route remains open to the public. Further details on rules, kit, and withdrawal procedures will be provided prior to the event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
