Castle Trail

Castle Trail

Castle Trail is a self navigation trail race held on 19 Apr 2026 at Mountfitchet Castle, Stansted Mountfitchet CM24 8SP. The route is approximately 6.2 miles. Entrants must be at least 16 years old.

Participants receive a written route description on the day. There are no course markings, no marshals, and no GPX files supplied. The event is not a mass start; runners are timed out and checked back in at the finish. Race headquarters will be located in the car park.

Entry fees are tiered: affiliated entries are £9 and unaffiliated entries are £11, plus a booking or service fee. Each entry includes a £4 voucher valid at the castle tea room on the day. Discounted affiliation pricing applies until the closing date. Results will be posted on the organiser’s website.

It is possible to enter more than once to enable friends to run together, but the organiser requires full details for each additional entrant (emergency contact, mobile number to be carried on the day, email address and confirmation of agreement to the same terms and conditions) before the closing date. There are no refunds or transfers for any reason. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
