High Lodge 16k Guided Trail Run - June
This is a guided trail run of 16k at High Lodge in Thetford Forest, Brandon, Suffolk. The run includes commentary about the local forest and practical tips on trail running. The location features miles of woodland trails and opportunities to spot wildlife.
Runs are led at a conversational pace and participants are placed in groups with runners of similar ability; attendees may need to run at a slower pace than usual. The event is described as suitable for road runners taking their first steps into trail running. The terrain is mostly flat with a couple of small hills where leaders will offer advice on hill technique.
The organisers allow 2.5 hours for the activity, though actual duration will depend on group ability. There is parking at High Lodge; parking for attendees is charged at £3. The event fee is £17.50.
Trail surfaces vary from hard-packed paths to single-track trails through woods. Trail shoes are recommended, but road shoes are acceptable if that is all a participant has. Participants are advised to carry at least 500 ml of water and any snacks they need. The event statement also notes that participants should come with a willingness to enjoy the trails and engage with the guidance provided.
