Running Tribe Races

Running Tribe Races take place on looped courses around Chalfont St Peter in Buckinghamshire. Courses 1, 2 and 3 start and finish at Chalfont Park Sports Club, while courses 4, 5 and 6 use Chalfont St Peter Community Centre in Gerrards Cross.

Runners choose their distance on the day. The options include 7 km, 10 km, 14 km, Half Marathon, Full Marathon and Ultra Marathon. The race uses either a 7 km or 10 km loop, and participants can stop after one or more loops and be counted in the relevant race distance.

Courses 1, 2 and 3 offer 10 km, Half Marathon, Full Marathon and a 40 mile Ultra Marathon. The route here is a 10.8 km loop, using about 80% trail and 20% road, with public footpaths and woods. Six laps of this loop total about 2100 ft of climb.

Courses 4, 5 and 6 offer 7 km, 14 km, Half Marathon, Full Marathon and a 30 mile Ultra Marathon. One aid station at the start and finish line provides water, soft drinks and vegan and vegetarian food.
