The 30 and 40 mile loops showcase some of England’s hidden sandstone villages and historic landmarks. Runners begin in Sherwood Forest, primarily following scenic forest trails and footpaths. The route meanders past quaint lodges, through Cresswell Crags, and skirts around the Welbeck Estate, crossing Clumber Park and tranquil farmland before looping back near the Thoresby Estate. This circular course caters to both newcomers to trail running and seasoned ultramarathoners aiming for a personal best, with the 40-mile route featuring the iconic Major Oak.
