Private Guided Trail Running
Enquire about a private trail running guide for your own party. Discuss destination, pace, dates and route suitability; guide details and costs confirmed in writing.
A private outing starts with your own party and goals: exploring a new area, building confidence off road or sharing a good day with friends.
Your route brief
Tell us the destination, time available and what you want from the run. Share recent distances, hill experience and how comfortable you are on uneven or exposed terrain. A well-matched lower-level route can be a better choice than an ambitious summit.
One party does not mean one ability
Describe everyone's experience, including the least confident runner. Ask how pacing, breaks and shorter options would work. Guide numbers and the suitability of your group need to be discussed rather than assumed.
Ask who will lead
Confirm the proposed guide, their relevant experience and qualifications, safety arrangements and weather alternatives. The founder's endurance achievements do not establish a guiding qualification or mean he will lead your run.
How to book
Send your brief, then discuss a route outline and written quote. Confirm dates, meeting arrangements, inclusions and cancellation terms before making payment or non-refundable travel bookings. An enquiry alone does not reserve a guide.
