Eastnor Mud Bath 3km Mini, 6km and 10km
2024-04-28 00:00 - 23:59 (Europe/London)
Why run the Eastnor Castle Mud Bath

Eastnor Castle is the home of the Land Rover test centre; over 60 miles of trails wind through the deer park and woodland, which put the vehicles and drivers through the toughest of paces. These man-made trenches and troughs exaggerate the natural terrain to give a year-round muddy experience, maintained with additional water, these mud pits will be just as lovely in the summer as they would be in the winter!

We will be making the most of the terrain as it lies, picking the muddiest trails the estate has to offer. There will be a few natural obstacles, fallen trees to navigate, gullies to cross and of course, lots of mud to roll in! There are some good hills between the mud, but like all our events, everyone is always most welcome to come and take part.

Eastnor Backyard and Eastnor Mud Bath – one running weekend, two very different routes

The Eastnor Backyard and Relay Races, held on Saturday, are held on tarmac roads and solid farm tracks. These routes are mud-free!

The Eastnor Castle Mud Bath is a Mud Run held on Sunday, seeking out the muddiest trails and water-filled troughs, covered in mud.

From Beacon Hill, Watership Down, and Windmill Hill to name a few there will be plenty of hills putting meaning behind the name! You’ll be treated to beautiful woodland, stunning countryside, quaint villages, and of course, amazing views from the tops of the climbs. But with those ups, must comedowns! With over 4,000ft of climb on the 100-mile course, there is the same amount of descent for you to enjoy!
With a fully signed and marshaled course with feed stations along the route supporting you all the way, there’s no reason why you should wait in ticking off one of the best sportives. Full mechanical support is available on the route and a medal, drinks, snacks, and chipped timing await those who finish.

TrailFest - Cannock Chase Forest - Half Marathon
2024-06-22 00:00 - 23:59 (Europe/London) | Cannock Chase Forest, WS15 2UA EnglandUnited Kingdom
Event Summary:

Saturday, June 22, 2024

9:00 AM 8:30 PM

Cannock Chase Forest, WS15 2UAEnglandUnited Kingdom

Where is it?

Cannock Chase is in Staffordshire (WS15 2US). It is managed by Forestry England.

Competitor parking will be at the Tackeroo site (here on What 3 Words) and free. Spectators will need to park locally in the many car parks close to the start line.

The nearest train stations Rugeley Trent Valley and Rugeley Town are both approximately 2 miles away

Can I run with my dog?

Not at these events. As the event is run under a UK Athletics/ TRail Running Association license there are no dogs allowed at any of the events. It will also (hopefully!) be warm and as such unsuitable.

Course description

It’s pretty spectacular… and hilly! The route starts at the rifle range cadet hut and goes on a tour of fire roads and tighter single track routes around Cannock Chase. With no road crossings you can just put your head down and enjoy the amazing hills.

Each route is tough. The half marathon consists of a 3 mile loop followed by 1x 10mile loop with over 1500ft of elevation. Punchy!! There are steep up and down hill sections on loose stones. It’s not scrambling and for experienced trail runners it’ll be nothing of great note. However, for any “tarmac lovers” it might seem a little crazy! It is rewarding though, I promise! The views are spectacular and the escapism is very real!

The route will be fully marked, although having the route with you is very strongly advised.

The main elements of all the routes can be seen in the video. The forest is a living breathing habitat and as such things change, species need to be protected and pathways rerouted sometimes. We will be based from the Tackeroo campsite and use the block of woodland opposite but this potentially could be changed if it is deemed necessary.

What does it cost?

We operate a tiered pricing approach. The earlier you enter, the cheaper the event but never ever will you pay a booking fee!

Half Marathon

Before 19/05/2024 £30

After 19/05/2024 £35

Unaffiliated entrants pay £2 extra. Why not join your local running club or sign up the Big Bear Brigade and save 10% off entries for ever!

Can I have a pacer?

The short answer is no.

Pacers are generally only involved in longer ultras or when you’re running through the night. If you’ve got a friend or loved one who runs or walks with you for 100m as they pass you a jaffa cake, no big deal. Want to run across the finish with your 3 year old you’ve made wait all day for you? Not a problem (we aren’t horrid!). Want to run back 200m and help your mate get to the finish inside the cut off after you’ve completed your run? Hero. If your running buddy happens to turn up unannounced and runs with your for 10 minutes – that’s not ok. Pacing doesn’t have to be pre-planned to be against the rules and ethos.

We would hope everyone is sensible enough to understand what pacing is. It’s not just about setting a running pace but giving someone a motivational lift too. No pacing but please get family and friends to support you loudly and proudly!

Can my friends and family spectate?

Yes please!!

Having friends and family add atmosphere to the day is brilliant not only for you but for others in the events too. All we ask is they respect the event, don’t block pathways and stay clear of the immediate aid station and HQ areas. There are miles of route to be on so there is no need to be in those areas.

If you’re worried what they’ll be able to get up to while you run.. We’ll have a coffee van with us and if they drive 1 mile down the road to Birches Valley there is a large Forestry England visitor centre with Go – Ape, Grounds Cafe and amazing cycling.

My training hasn’t gone to plan and I want to withdraw

It happens. Injuries, life events… forgetting you’ve booked it! You can see our specific withdrawl policy for the TrailFest events here. They are a little different to our other events but still much better than most other events companies. I think they are more than fair and as such they will be adhered to.

Are there cut offs?

Sort of.

11 1/2 hours for the half marathon.

That is roughly 53 minute miles, 1.2mph. That is obviously massive but consider the course, time of year and terrain. The cut off is there to ensure we’re off-site before dark.

We’ll confirm these details on emails sent out in the last 4 weeks before the event.

Can I change distance after I’ve entered?

Yes. If you want to enter a longer event you will need to pay the difference in entry fee, if you want to do the 10K there will be no refund of the difference. If you let me know more than 3 weeks before the event you’re bib will be changed to the corresponding event too. However, if the bibs have been ordered then you’ll have to run with the “wrong” colour bib on.

You cannot change distance once the event starts as the routes are different. You can change distance on the day but this must be before the event starts.

If you need to clarify this please contact me directly.

Has the event been run before?

Sort of! We’ve held a 50k (and 50 mile) event at Cannock Chase Forest since 2021 along with many 6 hour challenge and 10K night events in the forest. This is the first time we are holding a half marathon event here however.

I’ve heard you do nice medals. What will it look like?

Once it’s in our hands we’ll share the design with you!

I’m not that fussed by a medal, drink and flapjack…

In that case our partnership with Trees Not Tees may be of interest! When you sign up to this event you can select to have no finish line swag and instead we’ll donate the cost of this to Trees Not Tees who will plant a tree in their Scottish woodland on your behalf! You can find more info about this initiative here.

Is there a gpx of the route?

The gpx of the route can be found here or by clicking the map at the bottom of this page.

The route may have to be changed, Cannock Chase Forest is an active forest after all, but this will be communicated with as much notice as possible. Recces of routes is always advisable but there is zero expectation of this. The route will be FULLY marked. We are often applauded for our marking, there will be lots of it.

The dream for myself as an organiser is you have the gpx on your watch/phone for emergencies but you never have to use it.

What is TrailFest?

It’s a day of moving around wonderful woodland for all abilities, speeds and experiences. Whether you’re an experienced ultra runner keen to get an early season 50 miler in or a newbie trail runner looking to do their first 10K TrailFest is for you!

We’ve got 5 distances for you to chose from – 10K, half marathon, marathon, 50k and 50 miles. Each distance has it’s own event page for the event specifics but most of the information applies to all of them and is listed here.

The idea of the day is to bring everyone together and to experience the fun of trail running in an amazing forest. Being around others doing what seems impossible can often make it seem a lot more possible too!! If you want to come and run your personal best or bimble about with your mates we’ve got the perfect distance for you.

Dragon Ride 2024

Port Talbot, West Glamorgan, Margam Park, Port Talbot, SA13 2TJ, United Kingdom

Sun 23rd June 2024

5 races | £25.00 – £109.00

ORGANISER’S DESCRIPTION

The Dragon Ride is one of the oldest and most iconic sportives in the UK, renowned as being the toughest and most legendary in the British Isles. It will, once again, be returning to Margam Park for what will be a special 20th edition in 2024 with lots of exciting surprises planned!

Lou Lusardi birthed the very first Dragon Ride in 2004, with just 280 riders, he was inspired by the popularity of Italian Gran Fondo’s in his home country. At the time there were only a handful of sportives in the UK and Lou saw an opportunity to bring this type of event to the Brecon Beacons. An insight that has proven correct and stood the test of time, with thousands every year now slaying the gruelling Dragon Ride.

COURSE DETAILS

Four incredible challenges, which will you choose?

For 2021 we scoured the Brecon Beacons and our vault to redesign all 4 routes to recreate the routes in reverse for the first time in 12 years. Your feedback for these challenges in 2021, 2022 & 2023 was excellent, so for 2024 we will again be asking riders to take on one of these four epic challenges. Each route will begin and end at our event village in the beautiful Margam Park near Port Talbot and head into, in our opinion, the best riding in the UK.

Macmillan100 = 100km (3 major climbs)Medio Fondo = 157km (6 major climbs)Gran Fondo = 213km (8 major climbs)Dragon Devil = 296km (10 major climbs)

The Bridge Triathlon
2024-06-23 00:00 - 23:59 (Europe/London) | The Bridge Address line 2 Dartford DA1 5PR
The race takes place in one of the cleanest lakes in the south of England. The bike course is all on closed roads, and it is ideal for anyone new to the sport of Triathlon.

New for 2019 – we are adding a Go Tri race to this year’s event.

In the event of us losing any part of the course we will turn the Triathlon into an alternative event. If we lose the road it will become an Aquabike. If we lose the lake it will become a Duathlon. Sorry no refund will be given as this will be out of our control. In the past 10 years, this has not been a problem.

There are three different distances plus a team relay to choose from: a super sprint, sprint and standard, plus a relay option for the standard distance triathlon.

We are also running an Aqua Bike race.

The first wave goes off at 6.30 am and then every 15 minutes

The name Belvoir – meaning ‘beautiful view’ in French, is pronounced today as ‘beaver’.

AQUASPHERE CARDIFF BAY SWIM 2024

Cardiff Bay is supplied by two rivers to form a 500-acre (2.0 km2) freshwater lake around the former dockland area south of the City Centre. The ‘bay’ was formerly tidal, with access to the sea limited to a couple of hours on each side of high water, but now provides 24-hour access through three locks.

Swimming in the Bay is only allowed when authorised by the Harbour Authority, so by taking part in this event, you will join an exclusive group of Cardiff Bay swimmers!

This event has been created primarily for triathletes looking to warm up or gain open water experience; however, it is open to everyone and with four different distances this event has something for all from first-time open water swimmers, to experienced swimmers looking for a challenge over a longer distance.

New swim course for this year’s children’s race. No laps, just one loop for each race. 50m, 150m, 200, 300, this will make the swim easier for the children.

Due to time restrictions we are limited to only 50 in each age race wave. Boys and girls may be racing in the same wave.

The children’s race is a stand-alone race now. It was too hard to run it after the adult race.

We need to have reopened the road by 10 am so all waves will need to start on time.

We will be fencing off all areas this year for safety reasons. We will also be moving the Transition area down to the trees to give us more room. The Finish will also be moved 20m again to give us more room (see site plan)

Registration will only open at 5.30am for the children’s race.

All children must be at the start area 15 minutes before their wave is due to start.

Start times will be sent out the week before the race date by e-mail.

They will also be posted on the website.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask before the day of the race.

Estimated start time for each age group.

Colourbust: We have a 500m and a 2km Colourbust event which is on laps of the Wyedean School football pitch, a great spectator friendly environment which lets us maximise the number of colour stations. There are medals for all our little runners too!
Valley View 10km Ticket: A 1 lap course. This is an out and back route, predominantly on the old railway line so it is lovely and flat and benefits from a lot of tree shading which is great on a warm day. This route has 2km in the tunnel which comes mid way on each length of the route. The route is predominantly flat.
Valley View Half Marathon Ticket: A 2 lap course. This is an out and back route, predominantly on the old railway line so it is lovely and flat and benefits from a lot of tree shading which is great on a warm day. This route has 4km in the tunnel which comes mid way on each length of the route. The route is predominantly flat.
Tintern Station Half Marathon Ticket: A 1 lap course which takes you through the Valley View route areas and beyond. This is a largely very flat route, with a 50m rocky trail section and few flights of steps as the route transitions from one flat area to another. The route is essentially out and back route following the railway line all the way from Sedbury on the outskirts of Chepstow, all the way to Tintern Station where there is a looped section. This route has 2km in the tunnel, lots of running along the riverside trails and has a turnaround point at Tintern Old Station with a feast station stop along the old platform. The route is predominantly very flat being based on old railway trails and river side paths.

Wye Valley Greenway and the Tidenham Tunnel

The Wye Valley Greenway will open for the time in its history on the 1st April 2021 and we are extremely excited to be bringing the first organised event to the Greenway and the Tidenham Tunnel. The charitable organisation Greenways and Cycleroutes has been behind reinvigorating this section of the Wye Valley Railway with a new lease of life; removing the old track, refurbishing and lighting the 1.1km long Tidenham Tunnel and resurfacing a large portion of the route with a mix of compact stone path and tarmac. The Wye Valley Greenway is a shared-use path, to be used and enjoyed by cyclists, walkers and runners.

The original railway ran from Chepstow to Monmouth. The last passenger train ran in 1959, but trains from nearby quarries only finally stopped in 1990.

The race starts at Wyedean School and heads along the rail path towards Tintern. Tidenham tunnel is 3km into the race and is itself over 1km long. There are great views along the Wye Valley as the two routes head to their turn-around points before retracing their steps back to the finish line at the station.

If you would like to visit the tunnel and Wye Valley Greenway please take a look at the visitors information page on the Wye Valley Greenway website, which includes info on opening times and access points.

Prizes

All our finishers receive a top of the range custom medal as well as a buffet of fresh fruit and other tasty treats. We also recognise a few of the speedy runners on the following basis.

Prize Categories

Top 3 male and top 3 female

First U20 male and female

First 20-39 male and female

First 40-49 male and female

First 50-59 male and female

First 60-69 male and female

First 70+ male and female

The final number of prizes awarded is determined by the number of finishers for each gender in a given race distance. If there are more than 100 finishers then the full range of awards are made as shown above. If there are between 50-100 finishers then the top 3 finishers overall will be awarded a prize. If there are less than 50 then only the winner will be awarded a prize. We do not have any winner’s prizes for any of the children’s events as would like to keep this participation focused.

There is no on-the-day prize giving because of the multi-wave, multi-start time format of the events. Prize winners will be contacted midweek via email.

Notes

There is a 3hr cut off for marathon runners to start lap 2 of the marathon. Please note the event is not open to people who would like to walk the event purely, but if you need to do a mix of running/jogging/walking to complete your distance, then we are very happy with that.

Runners with buggies are very welcome for the 6km and 10km. The Half Marathon and Marathon routes are not suitable for buggies. The terrain is a mix of the compact stone path, road, forest path and tarmac for the 6km, the 10km has some more uneven sections, which we would be more suited to a specific off-road running buggy, and you may need to walk over these short sections. We would ask you to start at the back of your wave when we move to wave starts. Unfortunately, none of the events are suitable for canicross.

There are great group discount rates for groups of 10 or more runners taking part in races of any distance on the same date. 10-19 runners save 15%, 20-49 runners save 20%, 50+ runners save 25%. All bookings must be made in advance of race day to qualify for the discounted rate. We ask all groups to be registered at least four weeks in advance of the race date to we have the opportunity to top up our medal order if necessary.
