Route information

Each route takes entrants around the grounds of Sudeley Castle, a fantastic backdrop at this race. The Children's 1k race takes in a lap of the grassy field behind the castle.
The 5k route also takes in the undulating field behind the castle before heading along a single-track lane and finishing back down the main drive of the castle.
Predominantly a trail event, the 10k heads up to the historic ancient burial ground of Belas Knap, starting and finishing at Sudeley Castle.
