Clipston Trail Half and Country 5 Miler
The Clipston Trail Half and Country 5 Miler is a trail running event held in the scenic countryside around Clipston, near Market Harborough. The event features two distances: a half marathon and a 5-mile race, the latter serving as a great introduction to trail running. Both courses start and finish at Clipston Recreation Ground, with routes that include bridleways, footpaths, and minor country roads, offering runners beautiful views and a total elevation gain of 237 meters on the half marathon.
The event supports the local Clipston Recreation Field Trust, with proceeds aiding maintenance of community sports facilities. Finishers receive medals and homemade cakes from the local WI. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
