Runaway Racing Invitational 10K
The Runaway Racing Invitational 10K is an end of season trail running championship held at Wendover Woods on Sunday 6 December 2026. The event base is Wendover Woods, hosted on Forestry England land.
The competition is open to runners who finished within the top 20% at Runaway Racing events in 2026, to age category winners from Runaway races, and to event volunteers. Minimum age is 16 and the field is limited to 200 runners. General entry is listed at £22, or £20 for UKA affiliated entrants, with a later entry tier at £26/£24 after 29 November 2026.
The course is a 10 km trail route with roughly 295 m of ascent. The route is described as testing, with steep climbs and long descents, and is expected to be muddy so trail running shoes are essential. The race is fully waymarked with orange arrow markers and ribbons, and key turns are marshalled. Chip timing with live results is used, and a bag drop is provided. Organisers advise that carrying a map or GPX is not required but recommended.
The event is licensed by the Trail Running Association (license number 8217) and held under UKA rules. Prizes include overall trophies for first male and female and awards for second, third and age category winners. A GPX file and race guide downloads are available, and the organiser's withdrawal policy issues 90% credit for cancellations more than four weeks before race day, redeemable once within 12 months.
