Route

Starting and finishing in North Malvern, we will head straight up to Worcestershire Hill and onto the Malverns ridge. We will then visit all the summits along the ridge, offering stunning views in every direction, and some challenging but fun trail running. With over 1300m (4400ft) of elevation, this route will work us hard, but we won't be racing, we will take our time and enjoy these trails at a social pace. Stopping to enjoy the views and grab some photos. Once we have run from north to south along the ridge, we will head back on ourselves, using the lesser known trails found on the hillsides and woodlands at the base of the hills to find our way back, offering a totally different perspective of this beautiful countryside.
