Malvern Hills 18 miler
The event is a guided trail run across the Malvern Hills and surrounding trails. The meeting point is North Quarry Car Park, Great Malvern, Worcestershire. The planned route covers 18 miles along the Malvern ridge and nearby trails.
The route goes up to Worcestershire Hill and follows the Malverns ridge, visiting the ridge summits and then returning via lesser known trails on the hillsides and woodlands at the base of the hills. The itinerary includes more than 1300 m (4400 ft) of total elevation gain. The run is not a race; the group will adopt a social pace, often hiking steeper climbs and regrouping regularly. Participants should be comfortable maintaining an average trail pace of around 10 minutes per mile (6:15 min/km) for prolonged periods. Faster runners should expect occasional slower, social running.
Practical details given in advance include a full kit list and further instructions. There is parking at the meeting location and the area is a short run or taxi ride from a train station. The stated cost is £39 per person. An alcohol free beer from Athletic Brewing Company may be provided at the end of the run, subject to availability.
