BE INSPIRED!

The 26th June is the day of the Saab Salomon 10 km Forest Trail Run located within the stunning Moors Valley Country Park. The course will take you through varied landscape covering open heathland, sandy trails, beautiful pine forest and windy single track. A perfect mix of terrain to get you warmed up for something grittier...

"Really enjoyed this race, nice variety of hills and flat bits with a definite down hill trend to the second half. Smashed my PB by 5 minutes, so a definite favourite!"

Great run, have never done a trail run before, thoroughly enjoyed it, found bits challenging, great atmosphere...superb goody bag and medal,. Would definitely do it again...Runner's World Forum

I thought this was a great trail race for a first timer like me. Different surfaces and some reasonably challenging inclines. The goody bag was top notch. Thanks!
