30 mi, 40 mi
About the event
The 30 & 40 mile loops take in some of the most beautiful and undiscovered sandstone villages and historical sites in England. The 30 & 40 mile options are open to runners only, sorry no walkers.
The races start in the heart of Sherwood Forest and keep mostly to forest trails and footpaths. The route passes charming lodges, through Cresswell Crags and skirts the Welbeck Estate. It then crosses Clumber Park and through peaceful farm land before looping back to pass by the Thoresby Estate before returning to Sherwood Forest. The 40 miler passes The Major Oak!
This circular loop is ideal for those fairly new to running trails. Equally, this race is also ideal for experienced runners seeking a trail ultra PB!

Trail running
40 mi
The 40.8 mile routes take a clockwise circular route on way marked paths with plentiful additional marking and Marshals present.
From the hall you head out towards Sherwood Forest. Initially on some nice trail followed by some tough field edges (and sometimes water!) you reach the A614. Here the route uses a cycle path in Clumber Park near the Thoresby area which is the first real chance to open out the legs before arriving at Hazel Gap Aid Station.
Here 40 milers cross the road to run an additional 10 miles in the forest which passes The Major Oak!
