Royal Windsor River Trail Run 2021
2021-05-16 | Alexandra Gardens, Barry Avenue, Alexandra Gardens, Barry Avenue, Windsor, Berkshire, SL4 1QX, Berkshire, England, SL4 1QX, United Kingdom
Race in the heart of the picturesque Thames Valley this spring half marathon trail race. This is a flat and relatively mud-free trail run, so ideal for runners looking to make inroads into the sport of trail running. Come for the country air, scenery and bespoke finisher’s medal.

Royal Windsor River Trail Run – May routes

Both courses start and finish at the foot of the beautiful and historic Windsor Castle, current home of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
The flat course is mainly run along river trail paths and will incorporate many of the key landmarks that have made this area so famous. Some of the highlights include Boveney Lock, Bray, Dorney and Eton.
The course is not designed to be the classic gruelling cross country through puddles and deep mud. Instead, it is a fun, friendly and fast trail run through some of the most beautiful countrysides the Thames Valley has to offer.

Etape Caledonia 2021

It is hard for riders to not enjoy the views of the Scottish Highland on their 85 or 40-mile routes. Once completed, riders can sit back, relax, and soak up the atmosphere in the Event Village.

Etape Caledonia routes

The two Etape Caledonia routes take in the best of what the Highlands has to offer. Winding roads, tree-lined avenues, Lochs, mountains and everything in between. The 85-mile course is technical and challenging in parts but still allows for moments where you can take a break from the hurt locker and take in the stunning views. The 40 mile brings in some challenges but takes out the steep climb of Schiehallion. You can find more information on both routes on our route maps below.
85 Mile Route
85 miles of closed road cycling beginning and concluding in Pitlochry. The course consists of rolling hills and forest-lined roads around Loch Rannoch and Loch Tummel, combined with the demanding, twisting climb of Mt Schiehallion (1,083m).
The course takes you up to Trinafour with a challenging ascent of 374m and backs down towards Kinloch Rannoch. Once you have cycled around Loch Rannoch you will begin your ascent up Schiehallion (382m). Afterwards, enjoy the descent down towards Aberfeldy and head back towards the finish line in Pitlochry. Make sure to relax and enjoy celebrating your achievement in the event village festival.
40-mile route
A 40-mile option of closed road cycling beginning in Pitlochry. The course will take a left away from the 85-mile route at Tummel Bridge where you will begin their ascent to 392m. Once you have finished the climb you can enjoy a descent taking you South towards Coshieville and round to Aberfeldy. The route then takes you back around to the finish line back in Pitlochry, where you can relax and celebrate your achievements at the event festival.
It will be hard for you to not enjoy the views, whilst taking breaks at the number of food and drink stations placed around the course. Once completed, it’s time to sit back, relax, and soak up the atmosphere in the Event Village. You can stick around afterwards and raise a glass with friends and family to toast your cycling achievement.

Lisbon Eco Marathon
2021-05-02 | Lisbon
Lisbon Eco Marathon is the only Marathon with its entire course within the city of Lisbon.
It positions the Portuguese capital in the calendar of this type of renown races around the world.
Ecology, Competition and Social Solidarity are the main assumptions of this event.
In addition to the “mythical” distance of 42,195 km, you may choose running two additional distances, the Half Marathon and a 12 km race, thus opening the challenge to all kind of athletes.
Conviviality and good disposition are our main slogans.
Most of the course is held in the “lungs of the city” – Parque Florestal de Monsanto (Monsanto Forest Park), in a way that minimizes the annoyances for the resident population, due to the reduced need for roadblocks, and at the same time makes it an event with one of the most iconic courses for the practitioners of this sport.
In order to make this event a unique experience, we gathered the practice of this sport in a party atmosphere in the center of the city.
The start line coincides with the departure and arrival of the three distances, to welcome athletes and their families in a comfortable and fun way.
And it takes place in an iconic boulevard of our charming city – the top of Parque Eduardo VII, next to the National flag, which has a privileged view of Lisbon’s main arteries, river and castle.

Hotels: Although Brighton has an abundance of B&Bs and hotels, they fill up quickly around the marathon weekend so we’d recommend that you book in nice and early!
Parking and public transport: We will be providing a Park and Ride service to get runners and their spectators around, but again, this will likely sell out so book in advance.
NB. No refunds will be given for bus tickets in case you decide not to run or take the bus.
