High Lodge 10k Guided Trail Run - September
A guided trail run at High Lodge in Thetford Forest, Brandon, Suffolk (IP27 0AF), covering 10 km along miles of woodland trails. The run includes short explanations about the local forest and practical tips on trail running.
Runs are led at a conversational pace. Participants are grouped with runners of similar ability, though some may need to run at a slower pace than usual. The session is aimed at people who have run on the road and are taking first steps into trail running, and it is also presented as a relaxed run for those who want to enjoy the trails without racing.
Terrain will be mostly flat with a couple of small hills; leaders will offer advice on how to tackle hills. Surfaces include hard-packed trails and single-track routes through woods.
The organiser allows up to two hours for the event, with actual duration depending on the abilities of the group. There is plenty of parking at High Lodge; attendees are charged £3 for parking. Recommended kit includes trail shoes if available (road shoes are acceptable), at least 500 ml of water, and any snacks needed.
Cost to attend is £12.50. The event is organised by ESCAPE trails. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
