Wimbleball Trail Races

Wimbleball Lake Trail Races

The event on August 28, 2026 takes place at Wimbleball Lake, Exmoor, near Brompton Regis and Dulverton in Somerset. The routes use off road terrain and offer views of the lake. The 10K course largely matches the triathlon course used elsewhere in the festival, while the 5K follows the same start and finish but turns earlier.

Distances

• 10K trail run, one lap, minimum age 15
• 10K canicross, one lap, minimum age 16
• 5K trail run, one lap, minimum age 12
• 5K canicross, one lap, minimum age 16

The trail races are part of the Wimbleball Sports Festival, which includes triathlons, open water swims and cycle sportives across the bank holiday weekend. Event facilities listed for competitors include finishers medals for all, podium prizes, professional event photos (low resolution with event logo and higher resolution for an additional charge), showers, toilets, plenty of parking, public liability insurance and professional RFID chip timing. Camping at Wimbleball Lake is available for an additional charge. Route maps, a race manual and results are provided by the organiser. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
