This particular trail was organised by St Austell Running Club and described as a 5-mile challenging, undulating, multi-terrain run in the grounds of the Boconnoc House Estate.

On the way to the race venue, there were clear signs along the roads directing you to its location.

The main event was limited to 500 entrants, with a minimum age of 15, and chip timed.  Cost of entry of £13 affiliated or £15 unaffiliated in advance and slightly more expensive on the day if places available.  Venue facilities were listed as onsite parking, toilet facility & refreshments.

The terrain was mixed, there was everything, tarmac paths initially, forests tracks, stone paths, mud, a stream and more. You name it, this trail had it all. 

As you neared the finish, spectators, marshals, and finished runners gave encouraging cheers and applause to the remaining runners.

You received a medal, grabbed a glass of water etc. Refreshments were also available, cakes, teas, and coffees.
