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.
Starting from race HQ at The Bothie, Sutton Scarsdale, the race passes below the Hall and down into the Vale of Scarsdale, past the Peter Fidler reserve and then on to the Stockley Trail heading in the direction of Hardwick Hall. We don't actually enter the Hardwick grounds but the races split here, the half marathon heading back towards Heath and Sutton Springs Wood whilst the full heads out on the Rowthorne Trail to Silverhill and then the 5 Pits Trail all the way back to Sutton Springs Wood and the finish at The Bothie.
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.
Mena was our working cocker 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.
Dogs on the event? Despite the sentiment behind the race the current permit means we are not insured to allow dogs on the event - sorry.
