Run the Wild Half Marathon
The Run the Wild Half Marathon is a guided trail running event based in the Chiltern Hills, starting from the Iron Room Hall near Tring. The route covers approximately 21.1 km (13 miles) and features an ascent of around 300 meters, taking participants through undulating chalk hills and local woodland. The event is designed as a guided adventure rather than a traditional race, with participants grouped by ability and led by English Athletics qualified Run Leaders.
The course is accessible for those who can run 10 km on flat roads within 90 minutes. Instruction on trail running techniques is provided during the outing, and steep sections are typically walked. Runners have access to facilities at the start and finish, including toilets and a bag drop area. A well stocked refreshment point is situated just over halfway through the route.
The event is dog friendly, provided owners use appropriate cani-cross equipment such as a harness. The location is situated a 3 minute walk from Tring train station, which offers rail links to London Euston in approximately 40 minutes. Paid parking is also available at the station.
