Hi Runners

It was a pleasure to stage this year's events, and I hope those of you that participated in some of the races enjoyed the challenges on these scenic trails.

We have six events lined up for 2027 including the Thames Meander Spring, Summer and Autumn series, Bewl Water Spring and Autumn series and Magna Carta Spring race. All of these events are staged in stunning locations in Surrey and Kent and we have a great team of marshals and the RAF Air Cadets that support all our events. The medals for next year's events and bespoke coaster awards are ready too, and will be exceptional.

As it'll be the Hermes Running 15th anniversary in 2027 I'm offering you all a 10% discount off any of my events and merchandising apparel via the Eventrac entry portal just apply the code RUNTHETRAILS to receive the discount.

My marathon events are also pre-qualifying races for the epic 2 Oceans Ultra 56km and the Comrades Ultra Marathon, both of which take place in South Africa. It's the 100th anniversary of Comrades next year too so I hope some of you managed to get places they are expecting 28000 runners, it's a great event !

Thanks too to Dom from DB Visuals for doing the videography for the Autumn Thames Meander on 4th October.

We are looking forward to staging another epic trail race, our Magna Carta event is approaching on 21st February 2026. Our new Magna Carta coin medal denotes the 100th anniversary of this historic treaty.

This is a scenic, flat and fast course on an out / back loop from the Wraysbury Skiff & Punting Club towards Old Windsor Lock the route is ideal for runners that want a fast time and it's exhilarating scenery all along this lovely stretch of the river Thames.

Our Magna Carta marathon race is also officially recognised by the 2 Oceans Ultra 56km Marathon as a qualifier for this epic event, definitely one of the most scenic road ultra marathons I have run in South Africa.

Hi Bewl Water Runners

We’ve been out marking the run-route ready for another epic trail run. The course conditions are really good albeit that there are a number of sections that are very rutted and some muddy puddles just to challenge you a bit more.

We have a mass participation field with myriad runners from different countries that will be participating. We will also have a DJ playing an eclectic mix of great 80s music to inspire you at the start and when you are doing your laps.

We look forward to seeing all our tenacious runners for another stunning event in the lovely High Weald countryside.
