Hoby Hop Trail Race 10th anniversary special

The event marks the 10th anniversary of a five mile chip timed cross country and Canicross race across the Upper Wreake valley near Hoby. The course runs through fields, stiles, brooks and traditional footpaths and includes some hills and views over Leicestershire and beyond.

Race headquarters are at Hoby & District village hall. The event has a maximum of 200 entrants and a minimum age of 12 years. Online entries close on 30/09/2026.
