10 Miles Around Ashdown Forest
This is a rolling 10 mile trail loop around Ashdown Forest that combines open heathland, woodland trails, sandy tracks and steady climbs. The route starts and finishes on higher ground and moves generally south across the forest before swinging east and then north to return to the start.
The course covers approximately 9.7 miles / 15.6 km with roughly 350 to 425 metres of elevation gain, depending on GPS smoothing. The highest point is just over 220 m and the lowest around 75 m, giving a clear rolling profile with runnable sections and several climbs later in the route.
Terrain and features include mixed natural trail surfaces, wide forest views, valley sections and undulating ground. The middle section climbs back through a mix of tracks and smaller trails, while the final miles include a steady climb onto higher ground.
This event is presented as a social trail run rather than a race. Participants can run with a guide, follow the provided GPX route, or set their own pace. Trail shoes are recommended, especially after rain. Runners are advised to carry water, snacks, a charged phone and the GPX route, and to be comfortable covering the distance and checking the route beforehand.
