Thoresby Park Longhorn Trail Event 2026
Thoresby Park Longhorn Trail takes place on 18 April 2026 at Thoresby Park, Newark. The event is set within over 1,000 acres of parkland that includes a 17th century mansion, an art collection, and visible wildlife such as wild deer and long-horned cattle.
Routes are offered for a range of participants and ages:
- Family 2 km (suitable for ages 5+, no canicross)
- 5 km (suitable for ages 11+)
- 10 km (suitable for ages 15+)

The estate is described as fairly flat, and the 5 km and 10 km routes are noted as appropriate for first-time trail runners or those stepping up from Parkrun. Route maps are provided for most distances; the 2 km route is to be confirmed.
The event is canicross friendly except for the 2 km family route. Runners may be accompanied by up to two controlled dogs and canicross participants have a separate start time. Nordic walkers may join any trail distance.
Live chip timing will be provided by Timing Up North. All finishers receive Wild Deer merchandise, an event medal, and a snack. An optional bespoke event T-shirt can be added for £12.
