Sandstone Trail Race

The next Sandstone Trail Race will be held on Sunday 1 October 2017. You can find full details of the race here.

The race was organised for forty years from 1977-2016 by Deeside Orienteering Club. Starting with 2017 it will be organised by Cute Fruit Events. We wish them well for the continued success of the race.

The event consists of two alternative races run concurrently, both following sections of the Sandstone Trail Path.

  • The A Race is 27.5km (17.1 miles) with 655m climb starting from Duckington and is ideal for the more experienced runner.
  • The B Race is 17.0km (10.6 miles) with 288m of climb starting from Beeston and is better suited for those wishing to try their hand at trail running.

Both races finish in Delamere Forest.

If you want to find out a little more about the history of the Sandstone Trail Race then take a look at the Race History page.

The actual route the Sandstone Trail Race follows is detailed on the Race Route page. The route is quite easy to follow and is often waymarked by the distictive yellow, circular Sandstone Trail markers on posts, styles and gates.
