Huffer Puffer Trail Race, set for Wednesday, July 22nd, 2026, invites runners to explore the picturesque trails and country lanes of Littley Green. Participants will embark on an approximately 5.8-mile journey that winds through a mix of woodland paths, rural tracks, and open fields. This self-navigation race challenges competitors with no marked course or marshals; instead, runners rely solely on a detailed route description provided at the start line. Timing begins as you leave Race HQ in The Compasses pub garden and ends when you return to this same finish point between 6pm and 7pm that evening. Race day registration will take place at The Compasses pub located at CM3 1BU, where parking is available on a field behind the venue. Entry fees are £8 for affiliated runners and £10 for those without affiliation, plus an additional booking fee. Upon arrival, participants can enjoy complimentary refreshments with their included £4 drinks voucher. Runners should come prepared as no water stations will be provided along the course. The pub offers a warm welcome to all competitors, inviting them to relax after the race and indulge in its renowned food and real ale selection. Results from this unique trail adventure will be posted on www.midessexcasuals.org.uk for those interested in tracking their performance or keeping up with fellow runners' achievements. The Huffer Puffer Trail Race promises an evening of scenic exploration, self-reliance, and camaraderie among participants.
