So, on Saturday March 23rd we want you to Spring into Trail Running with us at our Bristol event.
We Black Trail Runners know that there is no better time to take up, or enjoy, the beauty that is trail running than Springtime? The warmer weather, lighter nights, daffodils and snowdrops blanketing the ground – what’s not to love?!
Trail running in the Springtime is a runners’ paradise!
Black Trail Runners’ charitable mission is to increase the inclusion, participation, and representation of Black people in trail running. So, this Spring, we invite both new people interested in trail running, and existing members of our community, to come together to run with us on a specially curated trail route in Bristol.

But Spring into Trail Running with BTR x Strava is about more than the run! It’s about total immersion in the BTR community vibes, sharing stories and sharing joy. That’s why, to keep the vibes high, each run will culminate in refreshments provided by BTR for each participant and a host of BTR/Strava swag will be gifted too, thus ensuring that BTR Spring swagger stays with you through 2024.

As a social run, the pace will be set to accommodate the slowest runner, and I want to emphasize that no one will be left behind. Please ensure you wear appropriate shoes and clothing as this will be a trail run and the terrain may be wet and muddy.
Our run will take us through the breathtaking Wimbledon Common & Richmond Park, where you will discover hidden gems and enjoy the natural beauty in a safe and friendly environment. We will be running 99% off-road, which includes hills, flats and slightly more technical terrain, with a distance ranging from a minimum of 8 miles to a maximum of 10 miles.
I'm confident that everyone will find something to love about this run, whether it's the picturesque scenery, the physical challenge, or the opportunity to make connections and share knowledge with fellow runners.
