Running Routes

Example Running Routes

Kingsbury Parkrun to the Campsite

Some members will be running form parkrun back to the campsite

KWp to Campsite

4.5mi (asc 300ft - des 170ft) / 7.2km (asc 90m - des 50m)
Point to Point | Mixed Terrain

Group run from parkrun back to the campsite, heading the most direct route via the rifle range.

Note: The field between the rifle range and Hurley hasn't had a footpath cut into it this year. However, because it has been harvested, it’s quite easy to cross. Head directly toward the house and tall tree visible on the horizon.

Note: If the range is close due to being used by the arm, we have a plan B route!

HQ / Campsite Routes

Example routes to run form our campsite headquarters.

Short "Backyard Challenge"

1.95mi (141ft) / 3.14km (43m)
Loop | Grass Field

This is a grass run around the perimeter of the main camping grounds. This is very close by and perfect for those of you that want to do the 24hrs as a backyard style challenge.

Note: If you stick to where the cars have been driving for the best footing. Dry weather has caused soil cracking right across the campsite,

Footpath / Hurley Lane

3mi (170ft) / 8.8km (55m)
Loop | Mixed Terrain

Mixed Terrain Loop, starting on a footpath and finishing on road

Note: The footpath has been checked, and cut back where needed.

Full "Backyard Challenge"

4.14mi (213ft) / 6.67km (65m)
Loop | Mixed Terrain

Mixed Terrain Loop, starting on a footpath and finishing on road. This loop as close to the 4.167 "Yard" as we can find.

Full road route around Hurley.
Note: Dexter Lane is due to be closed for roadworks, we believe it is still accessible via foot.

Celery Trench / Birchley Heath Park / Bentley Woods

5.3mi (340ft) / 8.6km (100m)
Loop | Mixed Terrain

Mixed terrain loop taking in picturesque woodland.

Take care on the section of the Centenary Way path between Green Lane and Birchley Heath Park, as it is uneven underfoot and less well-used. Bentley Woods also has numerous criss-crossing "paths", so unless you are familiar with the area, please ensure you follow the GPX file.
