Running trails at Delamere Forest

Stunning scenery, a higher calorie burn, and increased mental well-being are just a few things to look forward to when you run in the great outdoors. 

With 1k, 2k, 3k, 5k and 10k options, escape the stuffy gym and get out into the fresh forest air.

The full 10k route follows the trails along the railway, loops around Blakemere Moss - a bird watchers paradise - and returns via the picnic area. Follow the purple waymarkers.

To run 1k, 2k or 3k, look out for the turn-around plaques.

To run 5k, use the shortcut and follow the white waymarkers. Supported by Sport England and using National Lottery funding, the 5km waymarked trail make running through the forest more accessible, so you can feel confident to just hit the trail and enjoy all the benefits of being active outdoors.
