The Sandstone Trail Race

The Sandstone Trail Race is held anually, mid-autumn, and consists of two alternative races run concurrently, both following sections of the Sandstone Trail Path.

The A Race is 27.5km (17.1 miles) with 655m climb starting from Duckington and is ideal for the more experienced runner. Where as the B Race is 17.0km (10.6 miles) with 288m of climb starting from Beeston and is better suited for those wishing to try their hand at trail running.

Both races finish in Delamere Forest where the Prizes are presented.

If you want to find out a little more about the history of the Sandstone Trail Race then take a look at the Race History page.

The actual route the Sandstone Trail Race follows is detailed on the Race Route page. The route is quite easy to follow and is often waymarked by the distictive yellow, circular Sandstone Trail markers on posts, styles and gates.

Potential race winners, however, are strongly advised check out the public footpath sections beforehand. Please do not run across the field diversion after Primrose Hill as this is private ground and only open to us on race day

The race has established a number of impressive records over the years it has been held. These records offer a worthy challenge for anyone aiming to better them.

Last year we used an online-entry system for the Sandstone Trail Race for the first time. This was popular with the runners and saved hours of time in processing your entries so we are continuing with this.

Contrary to previous information we stll accept paper entries but we would strongly encourage you to enter on-line if you can.

To enter the race you need to visit the Race Online Entry System, which will be available from 1st April 2008 onwards.
