Symonds Yat Super Looper
The Symonds Yat Super Looper is a six hour trail running event held at Symonds Yat. Participants aim to complete as many laps as possible of a marked 5.25 km loop that includes about 160 m of ascent per lap.
Each loop starts and finishes at the aid station by the Symonds Yat car park and HQ. The course includes a steep climb that reaches the Symonds Yat viewpoint and trig point, sections of technical underfoot terrain, and over 100 steps. The route runs past a cafe, toilets, checkpoints and support teams' vehicles.
The event uses electronic scoring but runners must sign in at HQ after each loop and may not run past HQ/registration without signing in. The race will be a mass start. Pacers are not permitted. Support teams are allowed and may use the HQ car park. Appropriate footwear is recommended for the technical trail.
Entry costs £55 plus VAT and includes event HQ, a marked course, a well stocked aid station, event merchandise, a unique finishers medal with additional loop rings, free event photos, professional timing, and medical and physio support. The event operates in partnership with Forestry England and a percentage of registration fees supports their work.
