Black to the Trails 2024

Presented by Strava, Black to the Trails is coming back to Dunstable Downs in May 2024, and it promises to be bigger and better.

  • Booking essential
  • Free event (admission applies)

12 May 2024, from 10.00am.

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.

Black Trail Runners are inviting everyone to this inclusive event, no matter your ability. There are distances for children (under 16s go free), the brand new, and the more experienced trail runner.

Black to the Trails is a feel-good carnival style running event, and the cherry on the cake is our stunning views at Dunstable Downs. The team behind the event guarantee that you’ll come for the run and stay for the fun.

Throughout the day, as well as the running on offer, there will be a variety of activities for the children, delicious food, live music and much more to keep a smile on your face and the post-run endorphins high.
