You will run through the grounds of the 2,000-acre Holdenby Estate. The 16th century house in Northamptonshire was a palace to King James I and then a prison to his son King Charles I after his defeat in the Civil War. Now a family home, the grounds are used for exclusive events and its gardens are loved by all.
The traffic-free 5.4K trail, follows trails through the grounds and the surrounding farmland with fantastic views of the country house, finishing through the iconic arches that adorn the grounds.
The 5K will complete one lap of the course, the 10K will complete two laps, and the Half Marathon will complete four laps.
If you enjoy running with your 4-legged furry friend, then we also have a 5k Canicross, that will start 15 minutes before the main race. All dogs taking part must be wearing a suitable running harness attached to a bungee line and waist belt. (Dogs will not be accepted into the event with their leash attached to their collar)
All participants will take home a stunning custom-designed medal and goodies!

Here are the ways this event cares for the environment:
Everything was amazing! Outstanding even! I proactively look out for certain race organisers and happily enter, knowing a great race will be put on. Roxanne M
Lovely venue and good testing course on proper off-road surface, i.e. minimal tarmac. Colin M
A proper trail event – hills, mud, grass and gravel. Glad I opted for the 5k but the challenge of attempting it at speed made for a very enjoyable event. If you like proper trail running, this is a great event. Karl J
Very well organised race. Dogs were made very welcome. Beautiful off road route. Diane P
The announcer lady was terrific, I really enjoyed listening to her......there was a bottle neck at the gate... which effected everyones time......loved it and hope to do again next year. Michael C
