Holcombe 10

Holcombe 10

Holcombe 10 is a trail running event organised in collaboration with the National Trust, based at the Hare & Hounds in Holcombe Brook. The event offers two measured route options that run across Holcombe Moor and through nearby woods and open moorland.

• 10K route via Peel Tower, Pilgrims Cross and Redisher Wood
• 10 Mile route via Bull Hill, Crowthorn, Quarlton Heights and Pilgrims Cross

Routes start from the Hare & Hounds and pass through Redisher Woods before a short steep climb to Peel Tower, then follow bridleways and moorland sections including Beetle Hill. The 10K contours to Pilgrims Cross and crosses Harcles Hill before descending back via Redisher Wood Nature Reserve. The 10 Mile course extends around Bull Hill, across mosses toward Crowthorn and Quarlton Heights, crosses Red Brook and joins the 10K route at Pilgrims Cross for the finish.

The event includes a finisher memento. Water stations will be provided at Peel Tower and at the National Trust ranger base at Chatterton Close. Participants are asked to carry minimum kit appropriate for trail conditions: waterproof jacket and trousers, spare warm layer, hat and gloves, 500 ml water capacity, a fully charged mobile phone with OS Maps or OS Locate app, suitable trail footwear, a foil blanket, a whistle and personal snacks.

Proceeds help fund The Sunnywood Project’s youth services and community programmes. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
