Known for her love of running manically along the trails for hours on end, these were some of Mena’s favourite routes – the places where she had most fun.
Now linked together in a clockwise circular route, The Trails of Mena give you a combination of track, maintained trail, field and woodland and of course a healthy smattering of ups and downs just so you don’t get too complacent on the flat bits. That said, this will be one of our more runnable events! The course will be lightly marked with arrows at major junctions and on course navigation benefits further from the gpx files made available for both races. Our marshals will be out on course giving the usual high levels of support and there will be two aid stations on the marathon, one aid station for the half and water stops for both events. All finishers receive a warm welcoming cuppa and light refreshments as well as a Trails of Mena medal. This is the first edition of the event and as with our other events has been designed with the runner in mind. Do check out our race reviews on Racecheck for an idea of what you are going to get. As with all of out events, we aim to keep our costs low by cutting out all the unnecessary fripperies. The marathon is £28 / £30 and the half marathon £20 / £22. Mena was our working cocker spaniel who we sadly lost in July 24. She had a brilliant life with us and the love went both ways. In her memory, a donation from the race will be made to Spaniel Aid UK to enable other deserving spaniels enjoy the same brilliant life.
