Event details
Be a forest runner and join us in our running series across the nation’s forests this autumn. The profits from Forest Runner sales help us grow, shape and care for your local forest, now and for future generations.
Whether you are a 5k or a 10k Forest Runner, choose your challenge and enjoy a run in some beautiful surroundings.
Both routes follow wide, surfaced, flat trails through giant pines. You'll explore quieter areas of the forest steeped in history dating back to 1400! High Lodge is a very flat forest with even paths allowing you to build up your speed. You can experience beautiful forest surroundings without the fear of a hill at the last stretch!
Forest Runner events are managed in partnership with Events of the North.
Join in the conversation in the run up to the event using #ForestRunner.
