It is with sadness that we have made the difficult decision to cancel this years (2022) Suffolk Trail Running Festival at High Lodge.

The decision was made due lower than normal entry numbers (<40%) making it impossible to meet rising event costs.

By making this decision now, we are able to redeem a majority of event costs to offer participants a refund and hopefully provide enough notice to find another event to fill your summer diary.

We do have other races taking place throughout the year and are back at High Lodge in October for a Half and Full Marathon  (all events here: https://rawtrails.co.uk/our-races/ )

We apologise for any inconvenience caused and appreciate your understanding and support.

Join us at the Suffolk Trail Running Festival

1ST – 3RD JULY 2022

With a backdrop of picturesque pines and heathland, The Suffolk Trail Festival (TrailFest) is a unique opportunity to enjoy a weekend of trail running adventures in the heart of the forest.

Whether it be a 3k fun run for all the family to enjoy, a 10k trail race to get the heart racing or a 6 hour, 12 hour or 24 hour endurance challenge, we are confident you will take away some fantastic memories.

Our 24 hour race can be entered solo, as pairs or as a team of up to 8 runners and the aim is to complete as many laps of our 5 mile course as possible in the 12 or 24 hour time limit. This is a test of endurance, speed, fitness, mental toughness and teamwork!

Camping, refreshments, children’s activities and live music will be on hand to add a fun & friendly festival vibe to the weekend making this an ideal event to bring your family / supporters along to.
