Route information

TRAIL BLAZER: TINSEL DASH 2026 🎄
Saturday 19 December 2026
We’re ending the HSR year the only way we know how.
Trails. Tunes. Mince pies. Fancy dress. Family chaos. And one final run together before Christmas.
Trail Blazer: Tinsel Dash returns for 2026, back at the same venue for our final event of the year.
This one isn’t about taking yourself too seriously. It’s about getting outside, getting muddy, bringing the family, seeing some familiar faces and finishing the year with the HSR community.
Expect festive music, plenty of goodies, loads of prizes and, of course, mince pies waiting for you at the finish.
THE TINSEL DASH
A proper festive trail run with the usual HSR atmosphere.
Come and race it, run it with your mates, or just enjoy one final adventure before Christmas takes over.
There’ll be prizes and surprises throughout the day, with plenty up for grabs for more than just the fastest runners.
And yes… fancy dress is very much encouraged.
It isn’t mandatory, but after some of the absolute corkers we saw last year, expectations are high.
Santa. Elves. Christmas trees. Reindeer. Full festive nonsense.
We want to see it.
THE FAMILY 1 MILE 🎅
The awesome Family 1 Mile Run is back.
A fun, inclusive one-mile run for kids, parents, grandparents and anyone else who wants to get involved.
No pressure. No serious racing required.
Just one festive mile, a brilliant atmosphere and a chance for the whole family to be part of the day.
