Malvern Hills 18 miler
Scheduled for Saturday 17 April 2027, this guided trail run meets at North Quarry Car Park, Great Malvern, Worcestershire. The route covers 18 miles and the entry fee is £39 per person. There is onsite parking and a train station a short run or taxi ride away.
The route follows the Malvern ridge, visiting the summits along the ridge and offering wide views in multiple directions. The course includes over 1300 m (4400 ft) of total ascent. The group will pause on the ridge for photos and to enjoy the scenery.
After running north to south along the ridge, the route returns using lesser-known trails on the hillsides and through woodlands at the hill bases, giving a different perspective of the area. The event is run as a guided, non-competitive group outing; steeper climbs are often walked and the group regroups regularly.
Participants should be comfortable sustaining an average trail pace of around 10 min/mile (6:15 min/km) for prolonged periods. Faster runners should expect an easier, more social pace at times. A full kit list will be provided and further detailed information will be sent to participants before the run. An alcohol-free beer from Athletic Brewing Company may be available at the end of the run, subject to availability. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
