Run through heathland and woodland trails to the summit of St Catherine’s Hill. With sweeping views across the Avon and Stour valleys. The course takes you over sandy ridges, shaded pine paths, and open heath, looping twice before a fast descent back to the start, providing a blend of history, scenery, and overall a pure trail running experiance.
The start line is open for four hours — runners can take on one, two, or three summits to test their endurance against the Hill. Each completed lap adds to the live leaderboard back at the Hall, where times update in real time and the fastest runners in each category earn their place among the Champions of St Catherine’s Hill.
