Festive Night Run - Amersham (6.5 miles)

Play In The Wild UK (Chilterns Division) are heading back to Amersham for a final run of 2021, rounding off the year with a fantastic festive trail around Amersham, finishing under the Christmas lights of the Old Town and earning a well-deserved refreshment after.

The aim of the run is to experience the night trails in their illuminated glory and enjoy the sights and sounds that night trails offer. Senses are heightened and running as a group at night is a much safer endeavour, so charge up the headtorch, dust off the trail shoes and come and see what awaits us on on the rolling trails around Amersham. 

This run is aimed at all levels of trail runner - from beginners to experienced, but ideally need to comfortable with a distance of 10km previously. 

This is a looped route, of approximately 6.5 miles, with a number of gradual climbs on the route, but rewarded with illuminated views across Amersham and the surrounds, as well as delightful descents.

PACE

We'll be aiming for a sociable pace for all. We will run as a group leaving no one behind, but experience of hills would be beneficial. You are welcome to try and push yourselves to the top of the hills or find that low gear and keep it steady, but we will wait for all at the top of the hills and carry on together.

Allow 1.5 hours for the run itself, as conditions may vary.

KIT

Please make sure you have the right kit for this run; headtorches are compulsory, trail running shoes, some layers and waterproofs if the weather requires it. Please bring some water; snacks (always) recommended. 

MEETING POINT

6.50 pm at The Old Amersham Market Hall (HP7 0DG)
