Hoby Hop Trail Race 10th anniversary
The event marks the tenth running of a five mile chip timed cross country and canicross race across the countryside of the Upper Wreake valley. The course crosses fields, stiles, brooks and traditional footpaths, includes the odd hills, and offers views over Leicestershire and beyond.
Race headquarters are at Hoby & District village hall, where bag storage, toilet facilities and number collection are available on race day. On-the-day entries may be available if the race is not sold out; the number of on-the-day places is confirmed after online entries close three days before the race.
Key event details:
- 5 mile Trail Race
