Ultimately you can run as many 5k laps as you wish in the time limit. You can run one lap in 20 minutes\, pick up your medal and Big Bear drink and go home! Alternatively you can head out on your 15th lap at 14:55 and finish in 6:30 having covered over 50 miles! It’s completely up to you. \nThere is no pressure from us\, but we’ll also see if you want one more lap! The format is great for people looking to run further than they’ve ever done before\, do a long training run for future events or to enjoy a sociable event with your friends. \nWhere is it?\nSalcey Forest is a Forestry England site with a café and toilets near Northampton. Use the post code NN7 2HX for Sat Navs . It is here  on What 3 Words. \nYou do have to pay to park (we’ve negotiated a special offer of £3.50 for the day! We’ll send emails out to entrants to make this happen).  That said\, be a hero and car share\, save money and the world! \nThe number 33 bus stops inside Salcey Forest (just after 9am) and goes between Northampton and Milton Keynes. \nIt is 18 minutes from Northampton and 9 minutes from Junction 15 of the M1. The closest train station is Northampton. \nHow far is the race?\nYou decide! The 3.5-mile off-road loop means your race can be 5k or even over 80K and anywhere in between. You decide how many laps you’re going to do on the day within the 6-hour time limit. If you’re looking to cover a marathon distance you’ll need to complete 7 laps (+ a little out and back) and a half marathon will be 4 laps (and a little long at 14 miles!). \nCourse description:\nThe route is along well maintained pathways. There isn’t a meter of asphalt and the pathways are mainly crushed stone or very well trodden open forest floor. Obviously being in the middle of a forest the narrower ones are covered in tree detritus and can become a bit muddy and grimy\, especially when wet. On a dry day road shoes will be perfectly acceptable\, on a wet day trail shoes may be a better bet as some parts can become a bit slippy. \nWhat does it cost?\nBefore 21/10/2025 £37 \nAfter 21/10/2025 £42 \nFor more information on the event and what’s included\, please click here.

Total Climb: 1900 feet. 15th Annual.\nThe 100-mile course is a marked point-to-point race which takes runners from Richmond in South West London to the centre of Oxford. The course follows the meandering route of the Thames against its flow and is flat and fast\, with the majority on groomed paths/ trails and paved pathways. There are some truly stunning sections of the route showing off the best of English riverside scenery and life on the Thames. Held under an official UKA Permit granted through the Trail Running Association (Permit Number Pending). \n\nGeneral Info\n\n\nEntries\nEntries for the 2026 Event open on Saturday May 24th 2024 at 1000.

Whether you’re an experienced ultra runner keen to get an early-season 50 km in or a newbie trail runner looking to do their first 10K\, TrailFest is for you! \nWe’ve four distances for you to choose from: 10K\, half marathon\, marathon\, and 50 km. A distance to suit everyone! \nThe 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. \nWe’ve got very generous cut-off times too\, to try and remove some of those barriers to new people trying out the sport. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhere is it?\nSalcey Forest is a Forestry England site with a café and toilets near Northampton. Use postcode NN7 2HX for your Sat Nav. It is located here on What3Words. \nYou do have to pay to park (between £3.80 – £9 at the time of writing).  That said\, be a hero and car share\, save money and the world! \nThe number 33 bus stops inside Salcey Forest (just after 9 am) and goes between Northampton and Milton Keynes (check for Sunday times) \nIt is 18 minutes from Northampton and 9 minutes from Junction 15 of the M1. The closest train station is Northampton. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCan I run with my dog?\nNot 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. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCourse description\nThe different routes all use similar sections of the forest. The majority of the routes are along well-maintained pathways. There isn’t a meter of asphalt (except 2 road crossings for the longer events!\,) and the pathways are mainly crushed stone or very well trodden open forest floor. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat does it cost?\nWe operate a tiered pricing approach. The earlier you enter\, the cheaper the event\, but never ever will you pay a booking fee! \n\n\n\n10K\nHalf Marathon\nMarathon\n50K\n\n\n\nBefore 28/06/2026 | £20 \n\n\nBefore 28/06/2026 | £35 \n\n\nBefore 28/06/2026 | £51 \n\n\nBefore 28/06/2026 | £62 \n\n\n\nAfter 28/06/2026 | £25\nAfter 28/06/2026 | £40\nAfter 28/06/2026 | £56\nAfter 28/06/2026 | £72\n\n\n\nUnaffiliated entrants pay £2 extra. Why not join your local running club or sign up for the Big Bear Brigade and save 10% off entries forever! If you were on our Very Important Bear mailing list\, you could have also saved 20% before the event was launched! \n\nCan I run as many laps as I want?\nNot at this event. This may seem an odd question to answer but given the majority of our events are 6 hour lapped events it’s one I’m sure people will have! \n  \nWhat are the timings for each event?\n\n\n\nEvent\nRegistration Open\nEvent Start\n\n\n50 km\n07:00\n08:00\n\n\nMarathon\n07:00\n08:30\n\n\nHalf Marathon\n08:00\n09:00\n\n\n10 km\n08:00\n09:00\n\n\n\n\nCan I have crew or pacers?\nYes and no. You can have crew\, they’re really helpful for longer events\, but you cannot have pacers. To be clear\, that means no-one can run with you or walk alongside you for any period of time except in the final 100m or so. \n\nAre there cut-offs?\nYes\, but they’re pretty generous! The cutoff for the event is 19:00. For the 50 km event\, this means an 11-hour cutoff\, or a 21-minute/mile pace. All other events have the same 19:00 cutoff – so that’s 10 hours to complete the 10k! \n\n\n\n\nI’ve heard you do cupless events?\nThat’s right! Discover how we host cupless events here. For clarity\, that means there are zero cups at the aid stations. If you want liquid\, you need to bring a cup! \n\nIs there a mandatory kit?\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis is different for different distances and strictly enforced for each piece of mandatory kit missing 1 hour will be added to your finish time. For 10k entrants there is no mandatory kit although a cup/bottle for water is strongly recommended. There are NO CUPS at this event. If you don’t carry a cup you cannot drink water! \nHalf marathon/Marathon/50k entrants a cup/bottle capable of holding 200ml minimum is mandatory. It’ is strongly advised to carry a foil blanket and a charged mobile phone. \nThese are mandatory minimum’s if you want to carry more or extra kit then please do so\, this is to make you safe not to make you run to your best ability. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat if I need to withdraw?\nIt happens. Injuries\, life events… forgetting you’ve booked it! You can see our specific withdrawal 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 fairer than most and as such they will be adhered to. \n\nSummary Details:\n\nSunday\, June 28\, 2026\n8:00 AM  7:00 PM\nSalcey Forest\, NN7 2HXUnited Kingdom\n\n  \n\n\n\n\nTrailFest Salcey Forest – Marathon FINAL \n\n\n\n \n\n\nTrailFest – Salcey Forest 50K FINAL \n\n\n\n \n\nTrailFest – Salcey – HM \n\n\n\n \n\nTrailFest – Salcey Forest – 10K FINAL URL:https://raceconnections.com/event/trailfest-salcey-forest-2/ LOCATION:Salcey Forest\, NN7 2HX United Kingdom\, Northamptonshire\, NN7 2HX\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:10K Run,Half Marathon,Marathon ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://raceconnections.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/TrailFest-Salcey-Forest.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20260705T110000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20260705T160000 DTSTAMP:20260403T221308 CREATED:20260227T064943Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260227T064943Z UID:10006900-1783249200-1783267200@raceconnections.com SUMMARY:Parallel Windsor DESCRIPTION:Parallel Windsor is a Festival of Inclusivity with Challenge Events for all ages\, health conditions and abilities.
