Malvern Hills 18 mile guided trail run
The event is a guided trail run across the Malvern Hills and surrounding trails, meeting at North Quarry Car Park in Great Malvern, Worcestershire. The advertised distance is 18 miles and the entry cost is £39 per person. Parking is available at the meeting point and a train station is a short run or taxi ride away.
The route includes an ascent onto Worcestershire Hill and along the Malverns ridge, visiting multiple summits along the ridge and offering wide open views. The total elevation gain for the route is over 1300 m (4400 ft). The terrain includes ridge running and trails on hillsides and woodlands, with sections of steeper trail running and varied footing.
This run is organised as a group activity rather than a race, with a social pace and stops to enjoy the views and take photos. Participants should be able to comfortably maintain an average pace of about 10 minutes per mile or 6 minutes per kilometre on trail for prolonged periods and should have a suitable level of fitness. A full kit list will be provided in advance. Event information will be issued to participants before the run. Alcohol free beer may be offered at the end of the run subject to availability.
