← Royton Trail Race
Local trail race organised by Royton Road Runners - been going since 2007, but this was the first year I ran it.
Had been warned by other members of my running club that it was a tough one, and they weren't kidding! First half of the run is mostly downhill, but then the climb up towards Tandle Hill starts, and it definitely gets tough... The course is lovely - running past farms, along trails, and into Tandle Hill Country Park. Makes a really nice change to run amongst greenery when you're used to running on roads most of the time.
The event was very well-organised by the club, and they even put on sandwiches and cakes afterwards! Well marshalled and supported, with a water station around the halfway point.
Excellent value for money, and will definitely be doing this one again.
