Bedgebury Forest 10 & 5 Mile

Immerse yourself in the breathtaking beauty of Bedgebury National Forest on February 7th, where runners and their families can enjoy an unforgettable trail running experience. The race offers three distances: a challenging 10-mile route, a scenic 5-mile option, and a junior run designed for young racers.
Set against the backdrop of towering pines at Bedgebury Pinetum in Kent, this event promises a unique blend of natural splendor and exhilarating competition. Whether you're training for your spring marathon or simply looking to enjoy some quality time outdoors with family, there's something here for everyone.
The 10-mile course winds through the forest’s undulating terrain, offering runners picturesque views at every turn. If recent weather conditions have brought rain, expect a muddy and thrilling challenge as you navigate the trails. The shorter 5-mile route provides an equally scenic but more manageable option for those looking to ease into longer distances.
Both races are known for their friendly atmosphere, with enthusiastic supporters cheering on participants from start to finish. For young racers, there's a dedicated junior run that encourages future generations of runners to experience the joy and camaraderie of trail running in a safe and supportive environment.
Upon crossing the finish line, all competitors will receive bespoke medals commemorating their achievement. Additionally, free parking is provided for participants, ensuring you can focus solely on your race without worrying about transportation logistics.
Race day promises an electric start-line atmosphere with runners buzzing with excitement as they prepare to tackle the challenging yet rewarding trails of Bedgebury National Forest.
