About this trip

Our guided trail runs are offered as either half-day or full-day private bookings for adults and/or teenage children (age 14 years or above).  The maximum group size is 6:1 trail runners to guide, but we can always accommodate larger groups. 


As we are located in the heart of the Cotswolds we can arrange guided trail runs from anywhere within the area. We cater for all abilities of trail running and can easily create an experience tailored around your wants and wishes from the day.


Whether you are new or seasoned in trail running we have a range of Adidas Terrex demo gear you can try for your experience at no additional cost.

  • Half-day trails - take about 3.5 hours with either a morning booking at 9.30 am-1.00 pm or an afternoon booking at 2.00 pm-5.30 pm. We’ll create an aid point part way through the journey inclusive of nutrition, water + snacks. 


  • Full-day trails - take about 6 hours with a booking from 10.00 am-4.00 pm. A break for lunch is included with an aid point part way through the journey inclusive of nutrition, water + snacks. 

A typical half-day trail running experience will range anywhere from 8 - 15miles+ with approx 500-600 m of ascent which will be adjusted due to weather, trail conditions and trail running experience to that everyone in the group enjoys themselves. Full-day experiences tend to double the distance and ascent.


We start the day checking gear, discussing the route, and safety and then hit the bountiful trails that extend throughout the Cotswolds. During the experience, we’ll stop to rest, and snack at aid station with plenty of photo stops along the way to take in the amazing views.

A great trip, brilliantly organised from start to finish. Very knowledgeable and accommodating organisers. Great food, great accommodation and perfect trails. 10 on 10.
By Darren H for Mountain Trails: Crossing the Lake District | August 2023 on Aug 14, 2023
I had an incredible trip, largely due to the professionalism and nature of the guides, Charlie 1, Charlie 2 and Eddie. They were always very considerate, thoughtful, flexible and accomodating. Nothing was ever too much trouble and they were just top company to be around at all times. I thoroughly enjoyed my trip and will definitely be a returning client. Except I won't ever feel like a client, just someone that made some great friends and had a great holiday. They are very good at what they do. Kudos from me

Absolutely unforgettable. The route was challenging, but worth the work for such stunning scenery. Accommodations and food were all great. Importantly, we had plenty of guides for our group. They all knew the route and did a great job of coordinating all the myriad logistics. Neither of these were easy feats for a route that was sparsely marked and for a group of people traveling from multiple countries, arriving and departing at various times. Not only were they experienced trail runners and navigators, but a joy to spend time with on and off the trail. I left with a dozen new friends and many more good memories. I'm looking forward to my next adventure with Pure Trails.

Great experience Mixed days, some runable one not Could have been significant longer distances for all three days particularly day 2 and day 3. Great guides, happily surprised we had three, which turned out to be needed Group was far too inhomogeneous Two drop outs before start One person who was not qualified for trail running and consumed far too much support and slowed the entire group I would I recommend and redo a trip with Pure Trail, absolutely 💯 10/10
