Admiral McHilly Trail

The Admiral McHilly Trail is a challenging trail running event held in Chelmsford, Essex, featuring an approximately 15-mile course with significant elevation, including over 900 feet of climbing and descent concentrated in the middle section. The race follows a self-navigation format using a written route description, with no course markings or marshals, emphasizing individual navigation skills. A shorter Chelmer Trail option of about 6 miles offers a flatter route through the Chelmer Valley.

Both events start near Springfield Cricket Club, providing ample parking and a welcoming atmosphere. Participants are advised to carry their own refreshments, and dogs are not permitted. Entry includes a voucher for the club bar. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
