Lovely autumn trail…🍁🏃‍♀️🍂🏃🏽🍁

[Sandraj39]

This morning we ran a new 10k+ trail route over near Guildford, as part of the Winter SixPack Challenge.

This is a virtual challenge which uses the Rungo app to give an audio described route, along with maps etc. It really is a lot of fun, as we end up following paths and trails we had no previous idea about! I really would recommend it.🙂👍

After starting nice and flat by the river, the route was a little undulating up and around Loseley Park house and then back down towards Guildford, picking up the North Downs Way and finishing again by the river. Perfect weather for running and such beautiful autumn colours everywhere too!🍁🍂

As someone who usually runs alone, it was good to have my husband along as a running partner, as I wouldn’t have the confidence to explore some of these trails on my own!

The SixPack Challenge can now be run in many locations around the country - have a look and see if there is one close to you.

Happy running!🙂

An area I know and have walked Sandra, and yes, quite undulating and a challenge to run I'll bet!

So pretty at this time of year too. 😍

A well run 10k!🏃‍♀️🏃💚xxx

49 years since I Iast lived in Guildford! Hard work in those days; no time for running. The countryside and Downs were beautiful though; glad you had good day.

We have harder (but shorter) routes to come! Chantries and St Martha’s Hill…proper hills there!😬

[Bluebirdrunner in reply to Sandraj39]

They certainly are! ⛰️⛰️😊🤞xxx

That looks so beautiful, and sounds good 😊 even if quite rough to run

[Sandraj39 Half Marathon in reply to SueAppleRun]

Thank you. We took it nice and easy and it wasn’t too bad!🙂

That sounds like a fantastic virtual 10k, what a clever idea! 😀 Well done for completing the route, especially the ups and downs 👍 Slippery leaves and roots can be a hazard this time of year! Love the photos, thanks for posting.

[Sandraj39 Half Marathon in reply to skysue16]

Yes, you have to watch your footing in the leaves because they do hide the roots and stones…😬🍁🏃‍♀️🍂

That sounds lovely Sandraj39 , and such a beautiful time of the year to do it. You didn’t stop at Loselely House for ice cream?

[Sandraj39 Half Marathon in reply to Dexy5]

Haha!🍦Loseley is closed at the moment but great idea for the future!🤣

That looks a good route - I love an 'exploring' run! Thanks for sharing - I had a look and there are Bristol and Cardiff that are closest at the moment.... 😀

How lovely! Thanks for the recommendation 🥰

That looks so great!!!

I had meant to complete my SixPack Challenge in my region way before now, but injury and illness struck and I’m only now back to running 5ks again, the shortest distance in my pack.

But I had managed to run 2 of the routes, and loved the experience. So I’m sure I’ll return to it hopefully next summer.

Sadly I had to forego the beautiful medal, but I still have the RunGo Routes waiting for me.

Happy 6-pack running! It looks like beautiful routes!
