The Wild Hybrid Invitational, set to debut as part of the 2026 race calendar, invites top competitors from across the UK for an exclusive showdown at Delamere Forest in Cheshire. This championship event is designed for both solo runners and pairs who have earned their place by ranking among the top ten finishers in any Wild Hybrid competition throughout the year. Delamere Forest offers a stunning backdrop for this challenging course, which will test participants' endurance on varied terrain with its mix of woodland trails and open fields. Whether you've secured an invitation or are simply looking to push your limits alongside some of Britain's best trail runners, all competitors can look forward to an exhilarating day filled with competition and camaraderie. For those interested in a more casual run, the WILD RUCK RUNS offer two distances: 5km and 10km. These runs cater to individuals who wish to carry a pack of either 10kg for men or 7kg for women as they navigate through Delamere's scenic trails. Participants are encouraged to bring their own packs, which will be checked at registration. All finishers in the Ruck Runs and the main event will receive exclusive Wild Hybrid merchandise along with products from official sponsors upon crossing the finish line. The competition is not just about racing; it’s an opportunity for runners of all levels to connect with like-minded individuals while enjoying one of Cheshire's most picturesque settings. The day kicks off early in the morning, featuring a range of start times between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM, which will be communicated directly to participants via email approximately one week before the event. Live chip timing by Timing Up North ensures accurate results for all competitors throughout the course. Prizes are awarded to the top three finishers in each standard category at the Invitational, adding an extra layer of excitement and motivation for those vying for glory on this special day. As with any race held within Delamere Forest, parking will be available at normal rates set by the forest authorities. Photography services will also be offered post-race through Event Partners, capturing memorable moments from your participation in what promises to be a landmark event in the UK’s trail running scene.
