Wendover Woods Trail Half Marathon, 10k & 5k August 2026

Join us for the Wendover Woods Trail Half Marathon, 10k & 5k on Saturday 22nd August 2026

A rewarding trail run through Wendover Woods, part of the beautiful Forestry England landscape on the edge of the Chiltern Hills, offers runners a scenic yet demanding trail experience across 325 hectares of steeply undulating woodland. With 181m of elevation gain, the routes wind along mature forest tracks and gravel paths, creating a natural challenge that rewards steady pacing and confident footing. 

From start to finish, participants can enjoy spectacular views, clear waymarking, supportive marshals, and a celebratory finish, making it an event that combines physical challenge with the beauty of the outdoors.

The junior race is a fantastic addition to a perfect family day out, with plenty to enjoy at Wendover Woods from exploring the Gruffalo trail, to tackling Go Ape and discovering many other fun activities the woods have to offer.
