- Free event (admission applies)
11 May 2024, from 9.00am.
The event has been designed and directed by Black Trail Runners for Black people, people of colour, and White allies who want to do their bit to diversify the UK trail running scene.
Tickets are available at the link to secure your running place, but non-runners are welcome to come along and experience the event for free.
Black to the Trails is an inclusive run event for everyone no matter what your ability. There are distances for the kids (under 16s go free!), the brand new and the more experienced trail runner. This year, participants can run 1K, 5K, 10K - or the brand new and improved Scotch Bonnet 10K - on some of the most beautiful trails the South East has to offer.
This event will be truly unique in its offering to all who attend. Once again, they'll be bringing feel-good carnival vibes to Dunstable Downs - you’ll come for the run and stay for the fun! Throughout the morning, as well as the run distances on offer, there will be a variety of activities, food, live music and much more to keep your post-run endorphins raised and the party vibes high. Non-runners are welcome to come along to enjoy!
