    Our story & approach

    Trail Running Tours UK

    A love of running outdoors, turned into a place to explore UK trails and enquire about outings built around your own goals.

    Discuss your next run

    Deepak Shukla · Founder

    From endurance running to shared adventures.

    Deepak founded Trail Running Tours to share his enthusiasm for trails, challenging landscapes and the satisfaction of a well-prepared day outdoors. Trail Running Tours is part of Pearl Lemon Group.

    His personal endurance experience includes 30+ marathons, ultramarathons and Ironman competitions, the 100-mile South Downs Way and the 200-mile Winter Downs. Long efforts bring very practical lessons: pace honestly, prepare for the conditions and pay attention to what your body is telling you.

    Those are personal achievements, not professional guide or coaching credentials. Deepak is the founder; his presence on this site does not mean he will lead your booked outing. Ask us to confirm who would guide your run and their relevant experience and qualifications.

    Trail Running Tours arranges and branded-operates outings through subcontracted qualified local guides, who are delivery partners rather than employees. Ahead of booking, confirm the assigned guide, terrain-appropriate qualifications, two-day outdoor first aid where applicable, insurance and local permissions.

    What a good trail day starts with

    The right ground

    A run should match your experience, not just your ambition. Tell us about recent runs, hills and time on feet.

    Your group, your pace

    Club outings and private groups need room for different abilities. Discuss the slowest comfortable pace as well as the strongest runner.

    Preparation over bravado

    Weather, terrain, footwear and escape options matter. Ask what happens if conditions change or someone needs to stop.

    Clear commitments

    Confirm the guide, relevant qualifications, inclusions, costs and cancellation arrangements before booking. An enquiry is not a confirmed trip.

    Individual runs, weekends and private groups

    Enquire about a private guided outing, a running weekend or a club and group adventure. Share your destination, dates and current running ability. For company groups, include the balance between running, social time and any transport or accommodation requirements.

    Dates and availability are confirmed on enquiry. Regional pages and route notes help you explore the possibilities; they are not evidence of a scheduled departure or a guaranteed guide.

    Before you commit

    • Agree the route demands, expected time outside and a realistic pace.
    • Confirm the meeting point, travel arrangements and what is included.
    • Ask who will guide you and about safety and weather alternatives.
    • Request a written quote and booking terms before paying or arranging non-refundable travel.

    Our terms and privacy policy are available to read before sending an enquiry.

    Where would you like to run?

    Start with your destination, dates and who is coming. We can discuss the next step without pretending every detail is already fixed.
