About this trip

Join us on a stunning trail weekend as we set out to run 80km off the stunning Cotswold Way - running from North to South.


This is a perfect trail adventure for those looking to get into trail running or for this wishing to step up their game. 


This fully-guided and fully-supported adventure takes in outstanding trails as we run our way through chocolate box villages, ancient monuments, rolling fields before finishing in the impressive city of Bath.


We’ve split the trail adventure into sections - running flexible distances of approx. 15 - 20 miles per day depending on how you are feeling - giving us ample time to get the most out of our journey. We’ll take our time with lots of stops and insights along the way, maximising the experience and adjusting the pace to whatever suits you. 


We have a support vehicle with us throughout providing us water, nutrition and supplies, ferrying our baggage from point to point, daily sessions on running technique, massages and evening inspirational talks which leaves you nothing to worry about so that you can focus on the journey.


We’ll complete 80km of the Cotswold Way over the course of 3-days where we finish our journey at the doors of Bath Abbey - it is set to be a cracker.

A great trip, brilliantly organised from start to finish. Very knowledgeable and accommodating organisers. Great food, great accommodation and perfect trails. 10 on 10.

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
