Running Tribe Races

Running Tribe Races

Running Tribe Races are a series of looped running events held at two venues in Buckinghamshire: Chalfont Park Sports Club, Chalfont St Peter SL9 0QA, and Chalfont St Peter Community Centre, Gerrards Cross SL9 9QX.

The event uses 7K or 10K loops which allow participants to choose their distance on the day. Runners may complete a single loop or multiple laps up to an ultra distance. The loop format provides easy access to a personal drop bag for testing kit, nutrition, and pacing strategies. Courses 1 to 3 use a 10.8K loop that is approximately 80% trail and 20% road and includes public footpaths and woodland. Elevation on that loop is about 2,100 ft over six laps.

• Courses 1, 2 & 3: 10K, Half Marathon, Marathon, 40-mile Ultra
• Courses 4, 5 & 6: 7K, 14K, Half Marathon, Marathon, 30-mile Ultra
