- Free event
Whether you want to push yourself or just have a gentle run with some new friends, our free monthly 10k trail runs are a great way to blow away the cobwebs, get some exercise and take in spectacular scenery.
This winter join us for a festive run, with a fancy dress competition at 9.15am and a briefing at 9.25am, and start shortly after. No pre-booking required.
Tinsel10 is all about enjoying the experience of running at the beautiful places in our care, so if monitoring your running time is important to you, please remember to bring your own timing device.
Fancy dress is optional, a fancy dress competition will be held at 9.15am where there will be a prize for the runner wearing the best costume. Please make sure your costume is safe to run in and trail shoes should still be worn.

Runners with dogs are advised to stay to the sides or back of the participant field. This is a non-marshalled event, and there are no facilities along the route so please take a water bottle with you to stay hydrated. The route is waymarked with arrows, and a map can be seen when registering. Please remember to sign back in once you have completed the run. The event may be cancelled in adverse weather conditions.
