Event organisers Endurancelife are seeking runners to take part in an iconic challenge to celebrate International Trails Day 2022. Join in and be part of a team that relays across one of 24 of the most celebrated long-distance trails in the United Kingdom and Ireland.
24 Relays (Trails) | 352 Legs | 2249 Miles
Each trail has been split into bite-sized chunks and are being offered out to the trail running community.
The challenge: Together with your team, assembled from a pool of running enthusiasts, you will relay the full distance non-stop day and night. Your progress will be tracked live online using your team’s GPS relay baton.
The history: Launched in 2020, six pioneering teams threw down the gauntlet and posted times on the South West Coast Path (relay FKT), North Downs Way, South Downs Way, Cotswold Way, Cleveland Way and the Ridgeway!
All of the trails are planned to finish on National Trails Day, Saturday June the 4th, 2022. Longer trails which take more than 24hrs to complete will start in the days preceding the 4th.
This is a nonprofit challenge and a portion of every entry will be directed to support the upkeep of trails.
The entry ballot is open from April 15th – 19th. Here, runners will be able to select their preferred relay leg from the 352 on offer.
Visit the National Trail Relays website to find out which trails are being run and for more info on the ballot process.
