Start time: 10:00am
Sudeley Castle, Winchcombe, Cheltenham GL54 5JD

Leaving from the grand Sudeley Castle , this won’t be a walk in the park.
All routes start at the castle and take you straight out onto the trails. The routes join multiple different long distance paths, including the Winchcombe, Gloucestershire and Cotswold Way. All courses will take you on a rolling adventure showcasing the hidden gems of the northern Cotswolds.

  • Free parking and bag drop-off area available
  • All courses fully marked
  • Fully timed / online results
  • Wooden finishers medals awarded

Whichever route you choose, you will be sure to experience undulating terrain through picturesque villages, breathtaking countryside and even past famous ancient sites. Whether you are an experienced trail runner or just starting out, these routes will challenge, excite and reward you. Whilst you may have to slow to a power hike up some of the hills, you will have more time to take in the surrounding scenery. We even encourage you to stop and catch your breath as you look out across the green pastures of the Cotswold valleys.
