Black Hill Run 2026

Nestled within one of the most scenic trail running routes on the calendar, this event offers runners an unforgettable journey through diverse terrain. The race features both 5km and 10km distances that start simultaneously under chip timing for precise results.
Participants can expect a challenging course with sections of gravel paths, sandy stretches, muddy trails, dense forests, and rolling hills. This varied landscape provides not only a physical test but also breathtaking views throughout the run.
For those who wish to bring their canine companions along, this event is one of the few that welcomes dog runners under full UK CaniCross rules. Runners can enjoy the camaraderie with both two-legged and four-legged athletes as they tackle the challenging terrain together.
After crossing the finish line at the Scout HQ, participants are invited to relax and refuel with homemade cake and tea served by enthusiastic scout mothers. This charming post-race gathering is a highlight for many runners, offering a chance to unwind in a warm community atmosphere.
With its unique blend of scenic trails, challenging terrain, and friendly competition, this event promises an experience that stands out as one of the best days on any runner's calendar.
