Hughenden Manor Trail Run 2021

Unfortunately this event has been cancelled. Everyone who entered should have received an email explaining next steps.

Set in over 600 acres, the estate at Hughenden offers some of the best of the Chilterns countryside, from native beech woodlands to the wide expanses of the chalk hills and valleys. Hughenden Manor has a rich history, it was the country home to Benjamin Disraeli, Queen Victoria's favourite Prime Minister, and was the base for a secret map-making operation during the Second World War. Hughenden is now looked after by the National Trust, Europe’s largest conservation charity, who with the help of supporters, protect and care for special places so people and nature can thrive for generations to come.  This makes a wonderful background for the trail run series.

The start takes place against the backdrop of the Manor and heads up through the woodlands and across the fields. Coming back in you will run past the gardens and out into the parkland before returning to the start and finish area. The trails are all on established paths and tracks and as you would expect is quite hilly. With this in mind we have designed a format for everyone. You may wish to give the 6km event a go, however if you are confident on the trail then why not go for the 12km, 2 lap event. What an amazing way to explore this beautiful estate.
