Miles For The Mill Trail
THAXTED WINDMILL TRUST CIO, in association with ESSEX TRAIL EVENTS, presents a trail event in Thaxted on 10 May 2026 to raise funds for the Thaxted Windmill restoration. The event offers two route options and welcomes both runners and walkers.
This is a self navigation trail race. Participants receive a written route description on the day; there are no route markings, no marshals and no GPX files. This is not a mass start event; participants will be timed out and back in at the finish. Race headquarters is at Thaxted Church Hall, Margaret Street, Thaxted CM6 2QN.
Entry is available in advance or on the day before the closing date. Entry fees are listed as £12 for affiliated entrants and £14 for unaffiliated entrants, plus a 50p online booking fee where applicable. Entry includes a voucher for tea, coffee and cake from The Giddy Up Tea Bar. The organiser states that 100% of profits from the event will support ongoing restoration of Thaxted Windmill. No refunds or transfers will be given.
It is possible to enter more than one person under the same booking; full participant details and agreement to the event terms are required before the closing date. Results will be posted on the event websites after the race.
