High Lodge 16k Guided Trail Run in November
This guided trail run covers 16k on the woodland trails at High Lodge in Thetford Forest, Brandon, Suffolk. The run is led by ESCAPE trails and includes short guided commentary with facts about the local forest and practical tips on trail running.
Runs are led at a conversational pace and participants are placed in groups with runners of similar ability. Runners should note they may not be the slowest person in their group and may need to run at a slower pace than usual.
The route uses a mix of terrain, from hard-packed forest tracks to single-track trails through woods. The course is mostly flat with a couple of small hills; leaders will offer advice on hill technique. Trail shoes are recommended, though road shoes are acceptable if that is all a participant has.
The organiser allows 2.5 hours for the event, with actual duration depending on the abilities of attendees. There is an optional cool down and stretching session after the run. Parking is available at High Lodge and attendees are charged £3 for parking. The event entry fee is £17.50. Participants are advised to carry at least 500 ml of water and any snacks they need.
