Battle of the Borders
Battle of the Borders is a trail running event in the Shropshire Hills organised by How Hard Can It Be Events and based at Carding Mill Valley, Church Stretton.
The course runs across the Shropshire Hills and The Long Mynd, including a National Trust area. The marathon is a single lap with no out-and-back sections or repeated loops. The route will be fully marked, and runners are asked to carry a map of the area, a rucksack, at least 500 ml of water, and a basic first aid kit.
Race headquarters are at Carding Mill Valley, near the National Trust tea rooms. Church Stretton town and its train station are within about a mile of the start location.
Entry pricing ranges from £30.00 to £42.00 depending on distance. Entry includes a medal, aid stations on course, and event marshals.
