Run Leaders for the Maverick Run Project are the people who make our social runs possible. They know their local area better than we do so they go out and find routes that they think you'll enjoy. Below is the information about the Run Leader for this particular social run.
As likely to be found on a trail with a camera as with a race number, James has run 5kms up to ultras and sky races, as well as shot the likes of UMTB. He's raced, marshalled, course marked, course stripped, taken snaps & helped you sign in at Maverick races. A local resident, he also builds the mountain bike trails, picks up litter and well, you guessed it, spends a lot of time on these trails. Be warned, he likes to chat!
Woburn in Bedfordshire has a lot going for such a small village; architecture, an abbey, deer park, safari park and more. It's this area that we will be exploring, taking in the few rolling hills that exist - don't worry, they're over in a matter of seconds rather than minutes and following a range of runnable trails, through woodlands, open park, fields and more.
Weekday runs are based around 10km routes, which on average at a group pace are completed in an hour. We're always happy to walk the hills, take a breather and admire the wildlife on offer.
Weekend long runs are just shy of 13 miles and take around 2.5-3.5 hours. There are more hills and a few hidden gems.
See the My Running Club app for more information on routes/times.
