Hope Trail Festival
Hope Trail Festival is a timed trail running event at Newnham Park, Plymouth. The event runs multiple endurance formats on a well marked loop course that measures five miles per lap. Races are contested as Solo, Pair or Team entries, with teams sized from three up to eight members. Pairs and teams may have only one runner on the course at any one time.
The festival includes three timed events of differing duration and a separate timed children’s race that uses part of the main course. All runners who complete at least one lap receive a bespoke Hope Trail Festival medal. Additional awards include Bronze, Silver and Gold medals tied to the 12, 24 and 36 hour categories and podium trophies by category for Solo, Pairs and Teams. Solo runners who reach 100 miles receive a 100 mile buckle; pairs and teams that reach 100 miles receive a buckle to share and a medal each.
Facilities at Newnham Park include free off-road parking, a transition/refresments area, toilets and drinking water taps. Camping is provided for participants with a plus-one adult and children under 16 covered; organisers require details of who is on site. Traders and food outlets operate from the race village. Mandatory kit must be carried at all times; a primary light (headtorch or chest torch) is required when running at night. Dogs are allowed on a lead and canicross has a dedicated gathering area.
