Shropshire Way 80K Festival
The Shropshire Way 80K Festival is a trail running and walking event based at the Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre in Craven Arms. The routes traverse the Shropshire Hills, passing over summits, through Iron-Age hillforts, along ancient drover routes, and through market towns and woodland. Participants can choose between four different distances:
- SW80K: A 50-mile route with a 24-hour time limit.
- Mammothon: A 26-mile full trail marathon with a 12-hour time limit.
- Half-Mammothon: A 13-mile course with a 6-hour time limit.
- Tusker’s 10K: A 6.5-mile route with a 4-hour time limit.
The course terrain is hilly throughout. Entry fees cover several services including free parking on-site, first-aid support, and a rescue vehicle. Participants in the SW80K and Mammothon distances are provided with trackers. All finishers receive a certificate of achievement and an event memento.
The event emphasizes local food at its aid stations. Provided refreshments include Shropshire Fidget Pies, beef stew served at a barn location, local cheeses, sausages, and home-made Bara Brith. A breakfast is provided for those completing the SW80K distance. Dietary requirements, including vegetarian and vegan options, are accommodated at the aid stations.
