Girton 5 Mile Trail Race
Girton 5 Mile Trail Race is a five mile off road event taking place on Sunday 16th August 2026. The route runs through Girton Millennial Woods, across fields, around Girton Woods and returns to Girton Recreation Ground on Cambridge Road.
The course surface is a mixture of grassy trails, gravel paths, compacted mud paths and some uneven ground. Some sections are narrow because of vegetation, while most of the route is open. The course is described as totally flat. The route is marked every mile with bright mile marker signs and with bright arrow signs along the way.
There will be one water stop approximately halfway. Participants are advised to carry any liquids or energy gels they may require. Headphones and earphones are not permitted so that instructions from marshals and other runners can be heard.
Registration opens before the event and closes shortly before the race; numbers must be collected prior to starting. There is a small car park at the recreation ground and additional parking in nearby side roads. Every finisher receives a medal. Trophies are awarded to first, second and third male and female finishers, and to first veteran in age categories 40-45, 45-50, 55-60 and 60 plus.
