Battle of the Borders
Battle of the Borders is a trail running event set in the Shropshire Hills, offering a Half Marathon (13.1 miles) or Marathon (26.2 miles) on a single-lap course through The Long Mynd. The start and finish are in Carding Mill Valley near the National Trust tea rooms, with the route spanning a National Trust hillscape and surrounding countryside. The course is fully marked, but runners should carry a map, a small rucksack with at least 500 ml of water, and a basic first-aid kit.
Expect well-stocked aid stations, friendly marshals, and a blingtastic medal in a welcoming atmosphere; Church Stretton provides easy rail access. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
Always double-check with the organizer's website – things can change, and we might have sprinted past a few details!
