One does not simply race The Tolkien Trail only once per year! 😁
The yearly demand for the Tolkien Trail Race means we've had to get a little creative. We will now host two Tolkien Trail events each year, one in the Summer (which will return 22/7/23), and one on New Year's Eve - what a way to celebrate and see out the year eh!
Oh, and in Winter you'll be racing the course in reverse, quite literally going 'There & Back Again..' 😉
Entry opens for the Winter Tolkien Trail Race this Sunday at 6:00pm!
