Start of the 10K race at the 2009 Ham Riverside Trail Challenge
A TRAIL CHALLENGE is a mass start cross-country race over tracks and trails with a difference. The course is not marked out by marshals but is instead defined by checkpoints that are marked on a professionally made colour map. The TRAIL CHALLENGE arises from choosing the fastest route between them.
For this year’s Trail Challenge series, there will be three summer Tuesday evening events in May, June and August, along with the Trail Challenge Half Marathon in September. For each of the Tuesday evening events, there will be a 10km race starting at 7:30pm and a 6km race starting at 7:40pm.
