Route information

For 2027 Black to the Trails® is heading to Denbies Wine Estate in Dorking, Surrey. Our new South East venue is an undulating vineyard with beautiful trails to run, including stretches of the North Downs Way

We’ve designed the 1K, 5K and 10K courses with accessibility and inclusion in mind. Bring the family for the 1K, try your first trail race or take on all three if you fancy a challenge. With staggered starts, you can enter one, two or all three races in a day.

We’ll share course maps and details on terrain, elevation and any access barriers once the routes are confirmed.

Created by Black Trail Runners, Black to the Trails® brings together Black people, People of Colour and White allies to show what a globally representative trail running event can look like. Expect the same feel-good carnival vibes as we make ourselves at home at Denbies.

What's included

We guarantee, you’ll come for the run and stay for the fun! Throughout the morning, as well as the run distances on offer, we’ll have a variety of activities, food, live music and much more to keep your post-run endorphins raised and the party vibes high.

More than just a trail run

We are once again bringing the Black Trail Runners trail running carnival vibes. This is a community event so we will have a range of activities to enjoy throughout the day including face painting, food concessions reflecting our cultures, DJs, live run commentary and more.

What you get

For completing your run you get a Black to the Trails® medal and a goody bag. You’ll also be able to purchase Black Trail Runners merchandise - because representation matters when we are out on the trails! Our buffs, socks, t-shirts and hoodies help show who we are and what we stand for.

But more than that, you get to experience the joy of trail running at a vibrant, diverse and ethnically inclusive event. Black to the Trails®, by Black Trail Runners, is the future of trail running.
