Starting and finishing in Guildford, this run guided trail run features some of the best scenery in the Surrey Hills, including the wonderful St Martha's church and hill, we will enjoy a range of wonderful trails and take in part of the North Downs Way. Running in the evening is a fantastic experience and first timers are very welcome. Your senses will go into overdrive as the light fades, and you rush through woodland, surrounded by shadows and wildlife. We often see Badgers and always hear Owls in the trees above.
While always visiting St Martha's church, I change the route to this run often, so it's always worth coming back as it will likely be different.
This run is perfect for people new to trail running, runners who simply like to run with like minded people, or those that haven't felt comfortable running trails alone at dusk or night.
You will be guided by myself, an experienced ultra runner, running coach and Salomon ambassador. You don't need to worry about where you are going or the route we will take, I will take care of everything so all you need to do is concentrate on running and having fun.
Sunset runs occur during the lighter, warmer months and offer stunning running at dusk, with blissful temperatures and fantastic views, the perfect end to any day.
Night runs occur during the darker, colder months and offer the unique experience of running trails at night by headtorch, in a safe group environment.
