Book a Guided Trail Run — How to Reserve Your Place
Here is exactly how booking works, what happens after you send an enquiry, and how quickly you can be out on trail.
Most people arrive here wanting one of three things: a place on a guided group run, a private day for themselves or their friends, or a one-to-one coaching session. All three start the same way — you tell us where you want to run and roughly when, and we come back with options.
Nothing is paid before you have the route, the date and the price in writing.
How to reserve a place on a guided group run
- Send an enquiry with the region you want to run and the window you are free — a single date or a rough month both work. Use the enquiry form or book a call.
- We reply with options: the dates a guide is available, the routes that suit your level, the group size and a price.
- You confirm the date you want and we hold your place. Deposit terms are confirmed in writing before you pay anything.
- Before you run you get a kit list for the region and the season, a meeting point and a route outline.
How to book a trail running coaching session
Coaching sessions are booked the same way and run one-to-one or in pairs. Tell us what you want to work on — climbing, descending, navigation, pacing for a first ultra — and where you are based, and we will match you with a guide who runs that ground regularly. Sessions are usually half days, on real terrain rather than a track.

How soon can you run?
It depends on guide availability in the region you want, and on the season. If you have a specific weekend in mind, tell us that first — availability is the thing most likely to decide your date, and we would rather confirm it before talking about anything else.

Frequently asked questions
Where can I sign up for a guided group run and reserve a spot?
Send an enquiry with the region and the dates you are free. We reply with the available dates and routes, and your place is held as soon as you confirm the date you want.
Where can I book a trail running coaching session nearby?
Tell us your nearest region and what you want to work on. Coaching sessions run one-to-one or in pairs on real trail terrain, and we match you with a guide who knows that ground.
Do I pay before I know the route and the date?
No. You get the route, the date, the group size and the price in writing first. Deposit terms are confirmed before any payment.
Can I book a guided run for just my own group?
Yes — that is private guiding. One guide, your group only, routes built around your pace. See private guided trail running.
What if I have never run on trails before?
That is fine and it is most of who we run with. Tell us your comfortable weekly mileage and we pick ground that suits it.
