On Saturday 5th October we will be holding our 2nd Trail Run for 2019 around the lovely villages surrounding Wyverstone.
You have the choice of three loops and you are welcome to do all three (although you'll only receive one medal you will recieve a pin to add to the lanyard for each route you complete)!!
Everyone is welcome to come and join in our inaugural trail runs marking the end of the trail running season in aid of our wonderful local children's hospices. It doesn't matter if you are an experienced runner who fancies a change from running on the road, or a walker looking to enjoy our local countryside, our fully insured event is a great place to start enjoying our wonderful local trails.
There is a choice of 3, 6 or 8 mile trails suitable for running.
Please note because of the nature of the event we recommend all children under 16 are accompanied on the 3 ,6 or 8 mile trails. Those unaccompanied do so at their own risk. Children under 12 must be accompanied on all routes including the nature trail.

EACH is a wonderful local charity that supports families and cares for children and young people with life-threatening conditions across Cambridgeshire, Essex, Norfolk and Suffolk. Their care and support is tailored for the needs of all family members and delivered where the families wish – in their own home, at hospital, in the community or at one of three hospices in Ipswich, Milton and Quidenham.
But they couldn't do this without the support of the community, for both families accessing care, and those who have been bereaved, EACH is a lifeline at an unimaginably difficult time. They rely on voluntary donations for the majority of their income and need to raise almost £6 million to deliver their services this year – £16,000 a day, every day of the year.
