Experience an unforgettable trail running weekend in the Shropshire Hills with Running Adventures...
Escape to the stunning Shropshire Hills for an exhilarating trail running weekend with Running Adventures. Nestled in one of the UK's most scenic regions, our Summer Camp offers an ideal base for exploring the breathtaking landscapes surrounding the famous Stiperstones to the west and the majestic Long Mynd to the east. With lush forests, meandering waterways, and rolling hills right at our doorstep, you’ll have the perfect setting for a weekend of trail running, skill-building, and relaxation.
What to expect at our Running Adventures Summer Camp...
Our Summer Camp is an intimate, low-key mini festival dedicated to the joy of trail running. Spend your weekend with a community of like-minded adventurers, learning new skills, and socialising in the heart of nature. Each day, you'll have the opportunity to join a guided trail run, with multiple distances and pace groups available to suit your preferences.
In addition to running, we offer a trail technique workshop and engaging talks to enhance your experience. As the day winds down, unwind with delicious homemade meals and perhaps a drink or two, enjoying the camaraderie of fellow runners.
Trail Running in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty...
Prepare to be captivated by the dramatic scenery of the Shropshire Hills, known for their steep valleys and exceptional trails. Each guided run is led by our experienced and qualified coaches, ensuring you can enjoy the adventure at a comfortable, social pace. Remember, this is not a race—it's about enjoying the journey together. Our runs are designed to keep the group together, so faster runners should expect a more leisurely pace.
You’ll have three run distance and pace options to choose from each day, ensuring there’s something for everyone, whether you’re a seasoned trail runner or a newcomer. While previous trail running experience isn't required, comfort with the planned distances is recommended. The terrain will vary from smooth paths to technical, rocky trails, with some sections better suited to hiking. Don’t worry, our guides will be there to provide coaching and support, helping you master the techniques needed to navigate these trails safely.
Join us solo or with friends...
Traveling alone? No problem! Many of our participants come solo and leave with a whole new group of friends. You’ll feel right at home in our friendly, welcoming community.
