Ashdown Forest 10 & 5 Mile Series: Race Two

About this event

Set in the ancient Ashdown Forest, this winter trail series offers runners a choice between 10-mile and 5-mile routes through one of southeast England's most atmospheric woodlands. The forest's mix of heathland, pine groves, and gentle rolling terrain creates a surprisingly varied running experience. The January date means cool temperatures and typically firm trails, though runners should be prepared for muddy sections after rain. Both distances share the same woodland setting, with the longer route allowing for a more extensive exploration of the forest's quieter corners. The 5-mile option provides a solid introduction to trail running for those stepping off the roads.
