Route information
Take on these popular trail 10k and Half Marathon distances on the glorious trails and tracks surrounding Pitsford Water. The half marathon route also visits the beautiful local villages of Holcot, Hannington, Walgrave, Old, and Scaldwell.
Starting and finishing at Brixworth Country Park, the 10k race provides the perfect introduction to trail running whilst the half marathon provides a decent challenge for those looking to go further or build their experience of trail running.
The routes enjoy some of the best trails in the Northamptonshire countryside as well as having some fantastic views.

Spectator Info
The best place for your friends and families to support you is alongside the tracks at Pitsford Water. Whilst the half marathon route does run through a number of local villages, these villages are small and have very little parking (other than that for the villagers themselves) so we would ask that any support is limited to the tracks alongside Pitsford Water in order to maintain the support of the event from the local villages.
