Route and logistics

This is a guided trail run across the Malvern Hills and surrounding trails, starting and finishing at the same car park. The planned route ascends to Worcestershire Hill and follows the Malverns ridge, visiting the summits along the ridge, then returns using lesser-known trails on the hillsides and in nearby woodlands. The route includes over 1300 m (about 4400 ft) of elevation gain. The run is led by an experienced guide and coach and will be done as a group at a social pace. Participants are expected to be able to run around 10-11 min/mile (6-7 min/km) and to have a suitable level of fitness. A full kit list will be provided. Car parking is available and the meeting point is a short run or taxi ride from a train station. An alcohol-free beer may be offered at the end of the run, subject to availability.
