Ironwood Challenge
The Ironwood Challenge is a trail running event held in and above the village of Long Ashton in North Somerset on 28 February 2027. The course covers about six(ish) hilly country miles through ancient woodland, fields and forest. The terrain is mixed and has historically been very muddy in sections. The route is fully marked and marshalled, and chip timing is included. Off road shoes are strongly advised. An ARC permit has been applied for.
Race headquarters and registration are at Long Ashton Community Centre, Keedwell Hill, Long Ashton BS41 9DP. Facilities at the event include limited free parking, additional local street parking, a baggage store, first aid, and toilet facilities at the race HQ. Participants are provided with free cake and tea or coffee. Organisers ask that attendees are thoughtful and considerate to local residents when using street parking.
The entry fee is £20. Entries close on 25 February 2027. The race limit is 250 and the minimum age is 18 years. On the day entries may be available but cannot be guaranteed. Nailsea Running Club is the organiser and will donate £1.00 from every race entry to Long Ashton Nature and Environment Trust (LANCE).
