Location

You’ll be staying at the beautiful country house in Llangollen, North Wales.

The house is in a rural location so it is recommended that you travel by car if possible. Full directions will be given after booking.

Return transfers are possible but not included in the advertised price. Unless you contact us to arrange transfers, you will need to make your own way to the location.

What our travellers are saying...

Thank you for an excellent trail running weekend. Really enjoyed exploring a quieter side of Wales, getting off the beaten track with Tim, taking in the amazing views and then stretching it all out at the end with Poppy's yoga. Very well fed with wholesome food using locally sourced ingredients. Left the camp feeling revived and relaxed, with some excellent tips, advice and a training plan to take my trail running to the next level. Thank you!

Louise

Fantastic weekend of trail running and yoga, thanks everyone! Food, glamping, yoga and running coaching all brilliant and an amazing place to spend a few days. Can I do this every weekend please?

FAQs

Can I travel solo? Will it cost more?

We don’t believe in charging people more for exploring our world solo, so we’ll always match you up with a like-minded traveler to share with. If you would prefer your own tent we can usually accommodate that, though an extra charge would apply - please enquire before booking.

How many people come on the experience?

This trip requires a minimum of 6 people to run. The total group size will not exceed 10, to ensure you enjoy a small-group experience.

What should I bring?

What you need to bring:
- Long sleeved running tops
- Thin fleece or mid-layer
- Long trousers / tights
- Hat / buff
- Gloves
- Windproof jacket
- Waterproof jacket, ideally with a hood
- Waterproof trousers
- Warm layers for the evenings
- Trail running shoes - we'll be running on a mix of short road sections and hard packed trail, with some sections of softer ground. Fell running shoes would be overkill but useable. Road shoes are not suitable.
- Head torch - useable light for running for at least 2 hours
- Rucksack / bumbag - to carry spare clothes, snacks and water while running
- Water bottle - for up to 2 hours running
- Dry bag - for inside your rucksack / bum bag
Note: it may not be possible to dry clothes if you get wet, so bring enough to keep you comfortable all weekend.

How many miles are covered over the weekend?

Mileage isn't specified for the trail running, just the running time of 1 hour for the Friday night and 2 hours on both Saturday and Sunday. This gives your hosts the flexibility to adapt the route if needed due to weather conditions or ability of the runners.
