🚶 Trail Races (5K & 10K)

Kick off your race from the historic Country Park Halt with a cheerful steam train whistle! Race along beautiful woodland paths and riverside trails beside the Severn Valley Railway.

• 5K finishes at the iconic Arley Station.
• 10K heads back upstream, competing with the returning train! 🚂💨

Expect fully off-road routes featuring dirt, gravel, grass, and woodland paths. There will be natural elevation changes and a few uneven sections, along with the possibility of soft or muddy ground near the river – a perfect challenge for any trail enthusiast! Trail shoes are recommended! 👟

🚣 Paddle Sports Race

Prefer to be on the water? Launch your canoe, kayak, or SUP from Miner’s Bridge right as the steam whistle blows and paddle downstream on the River Severn, racing towards the footbridge at Arley! 🌊

Whether you're running or paddling, prepare for stunning scenery and an unforgettable adventure! 🌄✨
