High Lodge 16k Guided Trail Run
This is a guided trail run of 16k at High Lodge in Thetford Forest, Brandon, Suffolk, IP27 0AF. The event combines running with short explanations about the local forest and practical tips on trail running. The woodland setting offers varied scenery and potential wildlife sightings along the route.
Runs are led at a conversational pace and participants are placed in groups with runners of similar ability. Group placement means some participants may need to run at a slower pace than usual. The event is described as suitable for runners who have been running on the road and are taking their first steps into trail running.
Terrain will be mostly flat with a couple of small hills; leaders will offer advice on tackling those hills. Organisers allow around 2.5 hours for the session, though the exact duration will depend on the abilities of the group and the pace set on the day.
Parking is available at High Lodge and is charged at £3 for attendees. Trail shoes are recommended, though road shoes are acceptable if preferred. Participants are advised to bring at least 500ml of water and any snacks they expect to need. The event entry fee is £17.50 and it is organised by ESCAPE trails.
