Chilterns Wild Festive Trail Runs 2026

The Chilterns Wild Festive Trail Runs take place in December 2026 at Wendover Woods in Buckinghamshire. This event marks the first time the trail series visits the Chiltern Hills, offering participants the opportunity to run through a landscape known for its woodland trails and views across the surrounding hills. The event includes several distances to accommodate different age groups and preferences.

The available course distances are:

10 Mile Trail Run: Open to participants aged 15 and over.
5 Mile Trail Run: Open to participants aged 11 and over.
Family Santa Mile: A shorter distance for children aged 3 and over, where parents can accompany runners.

Finishers of the 5 mile and 10 mile events receive a medal, official merchandise such as socks or a buff, and festive refreshments including a mince pie, chocolates, and a drink. Participants in the Santa Mile are awarded a medal, a selection box, and a drink upon completion. The event utilizes the natural terrain of the woods, providing a trail running experience in a rural setting shortly before the holiday period.
