Running Tribe Races

Event Overview

The Running Tribe Races take place on two types of courses in Chalfont St Peter, Buckinghamshire. Courses 1, 2, and 3 are based at Chalfont Park Sports Club, while Courses 4, 5, and 6 are based at the Chalfont St. Peter Community Centre. This is a multi-distance event where participants decide on the day which distance they wish to complete by running a set loop multiple times.

Course and Distances

The event uses two different loop lengths. Runners on Courses 1, 2, and 3 run a 10.8 km loop that is 80% trail and 20% road, using public footpaths and woods. Running six laps totals a full marathon with 2100 ft of climb. Runners on Courses 4, 5, and 6 run a 7 km loop.

Available distances by course are:

• Courses 1, 2, 3: 10 km, half marathon, full marathon, and a 40-mile ultra marathon.
• Courses 4, 5, 6: 7 km, 14 km, half marathon, full marathon, and a 30-mile ultra marathon.

Event Format and Facilities

The looped course format allows runners to have a large personal drop bag at the start/finish area. A single aid station at the start/finish line provides water, soft drinks, and vegan and vegetarian food. The course is marked and described as easy to navigate, with road crossings clearly indicated.
