Sandstone Trail Half 2026

Sunday 6th September 2026


Event Details

Previous Results

The Sandstone Trail Half replaced the previous Sandstone Trail Races in 2025 and was a huge success.  The race has one start at Bickerton Hill National Trust Car Park Goldford Lane Malpas SY14 8LN.  The race will finish at Kelsall Hill Equestrian Centre.

There is no parking at the start area so we recommend runners taking a place on our bus from the finish area to the start and collecting their car from the finish area after the race.  Alternatively you can arrange your own drop off at the start area and collection at the finish area.  The new finish area has great facilities for runners and spectators including showers and a cafe.

Due to our responsibility to our marshals we have a 3 hour 30 mins cut off.  

The race continues to have a timed-out crossing point on the A51 so there is no advantage to dashing across the road.  The time taken between the two controls will be deducted from the overall time for the race; the time deducted will be shown on the results which each competitor receives at the finish.  Prizes for the top 3 men and women will be awarded by time.

The route is quite easy to follow and is often waymarked by the distinctive yellow, circular Sandstone Trail markers on posts, styles and gates.  We will have marshals where the trail meets the local roads but it is recommended you familiarise yourself with stretches of the route in the build up to the race.

There will be 2 drink stations; the first at approx 6 miles and the second at approx 10 miles.  

It is recommended you carry your own additional water, mobile phone and additional outer clothing in case of bad weather.

The races is run under FRA rules.
