The Maverick Adidas Terrex Original Cotswolds 2024

Saturday 13 July 2024 | Sudeley Castle

This event has sold out. On the day entries will NOT be accepted.

Back for the 9th year in the Cotswold Hills, Britain’s biggest AONB, as well as the most quintessentially English place we’ve ever seen. Leaving from the grand Sudeley Castle in the heart of the Cotswold Hills and set in 1200 acres of estate land, this won’t be a walk in the park.

All three routes start at the Tudor Castle and take you straight out onto the trails. The routes join multiple different Long Distance Paths including the; Winchcombe, Gloucestershire and Cotswold Way. All three courses will take you on a rolling adventure showcasing the hidden gems of the northern Cotswolds. Please note, there is no outpost on the Short route.

Whichever route you choose you will be sure to experience undulating terrain through picturesque villages, breath-taking countryside and even past famous ancient sites. Whether you are an experienced trail runner or just starting out these routes will challenge, excite and reward you. Whilst you may have to slow to a power hike up some of the hills, you will have more time to take in the surrounding scenery. We even encourage you to stop and catch your breath as you look out across the green pastures of the Cotswold valleys.

Bring the families, support crews and cheer squads to take a wander around the beautiful Castle and Gardens and of course, relax and enjoy the Maverick event village.

In our quest to make this season plastic-free, we ask that you run with a reusable cup or bottle. Hydrapak Speed Cups are available to purchase at each event and online.

OUTPOSTS

There will be no outpost on the Short route. There will be 1 outpost on the Middle route, at approximately 9km. There will be 2 outposts on the Long route, at approximately 9km & 16km. The outposts are designed to act as a top up for what you are already carrying. There will be a range of sweet & savoury snacks (fruit, cake, crisps) as well as Precision Hydration fuel & electrolyte.

HEADPHONES

We strongly recommend not wearing headphones at this event.

CUT OFFS

Although we do not have strict cut of times as such, we do appreciate if all runners (regardless of distance) are finished by 2pm. This equates to a finish time of 4hrs.

This helps to ease the pressure on our marshals, so that they are not stood outside for long periods of time.
