The race
The Forest Hill Trail Run offers a variety of course challenges across different terrains, including the serene Forest Hill Reserve and the adjoining farmlands. The shortest route is primarily uphill, tailored for both runners and walkers, providing a manageable challenge amidst lush surroundings. The intermediate distance combines both the reserve’s trails and farmland paths, offering a balanced mix of terrain that caters to mid-level trail runners. The longest course doubles the farmland trail, intensifying the challenge for more experienced participants.
This event serves as a fundraiser for Lochiel School, integrating community support into the fabric of the race. Participants can expect a day not only of physical challenge but also of community spirit and engagement.
