About the race
The High Lodge guided trail run covers a distance of 16k on woodland routes in Thetford Forest at High Lodge, Brandon, Suffolk. The run is led at a conversational pace and participants are placed in groups with runners of similar ability; attendees may need to run at a slower pace than usual.
Routes use a variety of surfaces, from hard-packed trails to single-track paths through woods. The terrain is mostly flat with a couple of small hills where leaders will offer tips on hill technique. The event includes brief informal commentary on local forest features and practical trail-running advice.
Organisers allow around 2.5 hours for the session, with actual duration depending on group ability. There is parking at High Lodge and a parking charge of £3 for attendees. The stated entry price is £17.50.
Recommended equipment and supplies include trail shoes if available (road shoes are acceptable), at least 500 ml of water and any personal snacks. The run is described as suitable for runners who have road experience and are taking their first steps into trail running, and for those seeking a relaxed guided outing to learn about trails and local woodland features.
