High Lodge 10K Guided Trail Run - December
This is a guided group trail run through High Lodge in Thetford Forest, Brandon, Suffolk (IP27 0AF). The route covers woodland trails and offers opportunities to spot wildlife while running on a variety of surfaces, from hard-packed tracks to single-track paths through woods. Distance for the event is 10 km.
Groups are formed using a rough recent 5k, 10k or half marathon time provided at booking so participants are placed with runners of similar ability. Runs are led at a conversational pace; the emphasis is on taking in the scenery rather than racing, and participants may need to run at a slower pace than usual. The terrain is described as mostly flat with very few obstacles, making the session suitable for runners who have experience on the road and are trying trail running for the first time or who prefer a relaxed run.
The organiser allows two hours for the session, though the actual duration will depend on the abilities of attendees. There is parking at High Lodge with a charge of £3 for attendees. Entry cost is £12.50. Recommended kit includes trail shoes if available (road shoes are acceptable), a waterproof jacket, sun cream as needed, at least 500 ml of water and snacks. The event is organised by ESCAPE trails. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
