Malvern Hills 18 Miler - Running Adventures

The event is scheduled for Saturday 18 April 2026 and meets at North Quarry Car Park, Great Malvern, Worcestershire. The guided trail run covers 18 miles and the listed cost is £35 per person. The event is organised by Running Adventures, a Guildford-based company founded in 2014.

Route, pace and logistics

The route climbs to Worcestershire Hill and follows the Malverns ridge, visiting all the summits along the ridge before returning north using lesser known trails on the hillsides and in nearby woodlands. The course includes over 1300 m (4400 ft) of elevation. This is a group run rather than a race; participants should be able to sustain an average pace of 10 min/miles | 6 min/km for prolonged periods and have a suitable level of fitness. A full kit list will be provided. North Malvern has parking and a nearby train station. The organiser notes an alcohol-free beer partnership with a brewery; a beer may be available at the end of the run, subject to availability.
