Key Information
Itinerary
Time Trial
Distance: 10km | Elevation: 200m+
Take on our 10k Coombe Hill time trial challenge and see where you place on the leaderboard.
There are some brilliant trails on this route that approaches Coombe Hill via Icknield Way/Ridgeway and finsishes with a nice 2k descent.
Route Marking: We will be lightly marking this route with orange ribbons/arrows. You should also have the GPX to aid navigation.
Group Run Info
Distance: 13.5km | Elevation: 300m+
Our social run follows an extended version of the time trial loop on the woodlands that surround Coombe Hill.
We will aim to complete this route together in 1h45. There are several long climbs, which for the most part will be hiked. There will only be one pace group, so we recommend being already comfortable running this distance to enjoy this run.
If this run is too long/hilly for you, why not try out one of our shorter self navigated loops, or check out our beginner trail runs that are happening in June.
