General Info

The Wendover Woods Weekender is the biggest and most accessible event we’ve ever put on! We’ve got everything from kids events to the toughest 100 miler on our books and everything in between. If you’ve ever wanted to experience the hallowed grounds of Wendover Woods this is your chance.

But there is more! Alongside some of the best trail running races in the South of England we’re also introducing our Wendover Woods Weekender Village, full to the brim with special guest talks, guided runs, plentiful food options, demo gear from our favourite brands and much more. As we confirm details on who, what and when these will be happening we’ll announce them on social media and update the site. We've even added the Wendover Woods 10, a 10 mile single loop race on the Sunday morning so those non-ultra runners can still experience the beauty of Wendover Woods.

To allow you and your family and friends to make a real weekend of this we’ll be opening up a camping field too. It'll be basic (toilets of course!) and suitable for both tents and campervans we’re keen for as many people as possible to enjoy the Wendover Woods Weekender. If you don’t want to do the running but just want to come along for the Weekender then camping only tickets are available too.
