Stately Trails: Forcett Park

Stately Trails: Forcett Park is a trail event on the Forcett Hall estate in Forcett, North Yorkshire on 18 June 2026. The course is a 5km loop with the option to complete two laps for the 10km distance. Distances offered:

• 5km
• 10km

Runners will follow marked trails across pasture fields, farm tracks and through woodland, including sections of single track. Parts of the estate boundary follow ancient Iron Age fortifications from neighbouring Stanwick Camp; the route also passes a wall used for musket training in the civil war and a Georgian grotto. Trail shoes are recommended because the course may be muddy and uneven in places.

The course is marked with orange tape, pin flags and coloured arrow signs; critical turns and road crossings will be manned by marshals. There is one water station on the 10km course at the start of the second lap; 5km runners can access water at the end of their race. Toilets are available at Race HQ. Parking is on site with signs and marshals directing vehicles; registration takes place close to the parking field and race start.

Age limits require entrants to be 16 or older for the 10km and 13 or older for the 5km. Walkers may enter the 5km. Entrant limit is 200. Poles are banned for this event. Finish food options can be ordered with entry and vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options are available if requested. An optional coaster-medal is available for an additional £3.50.
