Monsal Trail October Half Marathon & 10k Weekend

About the event

You spoke, and we listened! Due to the overwhelming success of April's event on the Monsal Trail, we have added another weekend of racing to the calendar. This one is a real treat. Completely traffic-free and with a mostly flat surface, the Monsal Trail follows a former Midland railway line, guiding you through four railway tunnels and across the spectacular Monsal Viaduct. Surrounded by breathtaking countryside, this half marathon is perfect for Spring marathon training. It caters to experienced runners and also serves as a great introduction to the half marathon distance for runners of all abilities. Or perhaps you fancy the 10k option? A racing delight at any distance, you won't want to miss this sell-out event!
