ARCHIVED RACE: Runner’s World Trailblazer – Bedgebury 10k – 14/05/2011

Imagine a 10km running circuit where the smell of pine mixes with the sounds of 1000s of runners around you; where soft, springy forest tracks and trails lead you deep into woodland, maybe across fields and eventually deposit you back into the hustle and bustle of a superb event village with post-race food, drink, entertainments and more.
All of our locations have been selected for the quality of their running routes, the accessibility for you, the runner and provide stunning backdrops in which to enjoy a couple of hours or maybe even a whole weekend, with friends and family or simply solo.
We pledge to do the simple things well; extremely well. Electronic timing with quick and clear results. A great race T Shirt. Special edition merchandise by well-known brands. A fantastic goody bag. Superb event centre facilities and of course, a really lovely running route.
The Runners World Trailblazer Series is new, fresh and devised for all runners: Begin your foray into off-road running with us or challenge yourself to a new off-road PB on our fast, flat and smooth(ish!) courses.
These are not muddy romps or gruelling cross-country runs; moreover they are fun, friendly and really approachable trail runs, designed to provide a great stepping stone from road to trail, or to allow you the opportunity to run fast in the great outdoors.
