Running Trail Running Events 2026–2027

Enjoy the rolling hills of the Clipston Trail Races – run on trails across the beautiful countryside surrounding Clipston! The 5-mile (ish) race is a great introduction to trail running or just something a little shorter! Race information This event is organised in conjunction with the Clipston Recreation Field Trust which is a charity that has owned the playing fields at Clipston since the early ‘80s and is responsible for their maintenance and development. Currently football and tennis are played here. Over the last few years, the field has been developed for other outdoor activities. There is a woodland that’s used by a local forest preschool and walkers of all ages; new play activity equipment for both very young children in one area and people of any age in another and the pavilion has also been upgraded. All this is expensive to run and any money we raise will be spent on maintenance of these facilities including the replacement of the tennis courts as necessary. Thank you for your support. Competitors must be at least 17 on the day of the race. Book your place for the 2026 event before the end of 2025 to be entered in a draw to win a TrailKube! Online entries will close at 7pm on the Wednesday before the race. Transfer of entries will close the Sunday before the race.
