The routes are suitable for runners and experienced walkers. If you’re taking on the marathon, we recommend being comfortable walking for up to seven hours. Runners are welcome to walk sections of the course. The terrain can be challenging in places, but taking your time to enjoy the scenery is all part of the Trail Escape experience. Can I enter or join a team? Yes! The more the merrier. When you register, you can create a team and prompt email invitations to your friends, family, or colleagues. Once they sign up, they’ll automatically be added to your team. You can also join an existing team by searching for the team name during registration. Each team member will have their own fundraising page, all linked together under a team page with a shared fundraising total so you can track your progress and hit your goal together. How do I receive my race pack? All participants must collect their bib number and timing chip in person (packs will not be posted). Bib numbers will be allocated at collection. Collect from the Info Tent at Bristol & Bath Science Park, BS16 7FR, on: Friday 25 September, 4:00pm – 7:00pm or Saturday 26 September (event day), from 7:00am. Is this a timed event? Yes, but it’s not necessarily a race. Forget the pressure of chasing PBs – Trail Escape is about enjoying your surroundings on your way to getting that medal at the finish. There is a 10hr time limit to complete the trail, which is less than 3 miles per hour. Can I book a parking or a return shuttle bus back to the start? While we encourage you to use public transport, we know that is not always feasible. There is limited parking available at Bristol to Bath Science Park, BS16 7FR, and there will be a shuttle bus from the finish back to the start which you can book buses/parking via Trail Escape. Can children take part? All 25km participants must be 16 or older on event day while marathon participants must be 18 or older on event day. Can I walk/run with my dog? Yes, one dog (please note, dogs are not allowed on the shuttle bus). If you’re thinking about bringing your dog, please read the guidance set out in the Trail Escape FAQs. You can find out more about the event on the Trail Escape website. HAVE A QUESTION?
