The Ragleth Summer Social

Join us for a scenic summer's evening exploring Ragleth hill and the surrounding area.  This run is planned as 1 chatty loop of around 6 miles/10km, starting and finishing in Little Stretton with the option of refreshments in the pub afterwards!  There is 1 steep climb that we will be walking to reach the summit, but we'll be taking a break as and when needed to enjoy the stunning views (and a homemade snack) at the top.  A relaxed run across the top will follow, before a steady, runnable, descent back down to explore some more of the surrounding countryside.  This is a great way to explore the area and enjoy the scenery in a friendly, supportive environment! 

The Ragleth Inn in Little Stretton is the start/finish point, and will be our venue for any post-run refreshments - they do great food as well as the usual drinks and refreshments you'd expect.  We will also be enjoying a homemade treat when we reach the Ragleth summit, and so please make sure to let me know any allergies or dietary requirements.

The route will be shared beforehand, and the group will be given clear directions/meeting points so anyone wanting to go a little further or faster is welcome to do so. The run leader ALWAYS stays at the rear to keep everyone together.  Our loop will includes fields, trails, woodland, stony sections and lanes...a bit of everything really. So be prepared for varied terrain... and probably some mud too!

When purchasing your ticket, you can opt to include an exclusive Romy Design wooden pin as a memento of your run.

Please wear appropriate layers, bearing in mind it's often cooler (and windier!) on the top of a hill! Trail running shoes/trainers with good grip are essential and waterproofs dependent on the weather. Please bring water and any snacks you may need for the trail run - a running pack is highly recommended to ensure you have everything you may need. 

*In the event of bad weather this run will be rearranged and transfer or refunds offered depending on your preference.*
