Trail running holidays

These are generally small group trips, where you’ll be running with five or more other people. There will be a range of experience and abilities, but expect an inclusive, motivational dynamic. Local guides who know the routes well and are trained in mountain safety accompany you. After every run, you’ll return to comfortable accommodation where you can relax and enjoy a hearty feed.

If you’re short on time there are trips taking place over long weekends, while week-long trail running holidays allow you to mix things up with short runs on rest days. There are autumn training camps, marking the end of the running season for the year, while also providing tips for maintaining fitness over the winter months. Other holidays are ideal if you are transitioning from road running or just fancy a change, and though small group trips are ideal for solo travellers, some can be combined with hiking for non-running friends and partners.

Trail running is at its best when you get a variety of terrain offering both challenge and a picturesque setting. You’ll find plenty of both in our range of trail running holidays. Enjoy some fell running in Snowdonia National Park, North Wales, with dramatic mountain peaks all around you. Or, if that’s not challenging enough for you, try running across the entire country.

In Ordesa National Park, in the Spanish Pyrenees, runners can tackle a blend of mountain ridges and high passes combined with fragrant forest paths, with vultures flying overhead. And in Kenya, you can pair a marathon with a safari when you run through the Lewa Conservancy.
