The Poppyhill 10km Trail Run returns to the testing terrain of the Sandhurst Military Training Grounds.

A combination of wide pine forest trails from the start give way to some single track and then at 3km into the Barosa training area with it's protected heathland and hills through broadleaf forest. This is land protected by English Nature as an area of special scientific interest and is usually closed to the public.

The routes are challenging and hilly with a combination of short sharp hills rather than an single killer hills and is suitable for anyone trying a trail race for the first time.

A brilliant run through protected forest and heathland registered as an 'Area of Special Scientific Interest' by English Nature. This is a beautiful, but hilly run on good forest trails through military land that is not usually open to the public. It's hilly, but it's very runable rather than an out-and-out adventure race.

 

For the second year the event is supporting the Children's Trust and the 3km Family Fun Runs encourage youngsters to enjoy a safe but challenging course with or without parents in tow.
