High Lodge 16k Guided Trail Run
ESCAPE trails offers a guided 16k trail run at High Lodge, Thetford Forest, Brandon, Suffolk, IP27 0AF. The route uses miles of woodland trails and single-track paths. Terrain is described as mostly flat with a couple of small hills where participants receive practical advice on tackling climbs. The run includes on-route information about the local forest and tips on trail running.
Runs are led in groups at a conversational pace and participants are grouped by similar ability. Runners may need to move at a slower pace than usual depending on their group. The event allows 2.5 hours for the session, though actual duration will depend on the abilities of those attending.
The surface varies from hard-packed trails to single-track woodland sections. Trail shoes are recommended, though road shoes are acceptable if they are all that a participant has. Participants are advised to bring at least 500 ml of water and sufficient snacks.
There is parking at High Lodge and attendees are charged £3 for parking. The event entry fee is £17.50. The sessions are organised by ESCAPE trails and focus on guided trail running combined with information about the surrounding woodland.
