The Windsor Trail Run has a rich history, starting with its inaugural Half Marathon launch in 2013. The event was born out of a shared passion for trail running and a desire to create a unique and exciting Half Marathon in the picturesque surroundings of Windsor. We envisioned an event that would not only showcase the natural beauty of the area but also provide an exhilarating experience for participants.

In 2013, meticulous planning and coordination led to the successful execution of the first Windsor Half Marathon Trail Run. The trail course was carefully designed to incorporate many of the key landmarks that have made Royal Berkshire and its surrounding areas so famous. Following the natural trail paths along the Thames Valley, participants pass the historical sites of Windsor, Boveney Lock, Bray, Dorney, Maidenhead and Eton, finishing at the foot of Windsor Castle. The inaugural event attracted a mix of seasoned trail runners and newcomers, creating a vibrant and inclusive atmosphere.

As the first year’s success resonated within the running community, the Windsor Trail Run became an annual tradition. With each passing year, the event grew in scale and popularity. We continuously refined the course, adding new challenges and incorporating feedback from participants to enhance the overall experience. With this we welcomed the addition of our 10km trail run.

With over a decade of organising the Windsor Trail Run, the event has become a staple in the trail running calendar. Participants from various regions look forward to the challenging yet rewarding experience that the Windsor Trail Run offers. We are committed to consistently delivering a well-organised event that caters to both elite runners and those seeking a fulfilling outdoor adventure.

The Windsor Trail Run now boasts multiple event dates throughout the year, ensuring that trail running enthusiasts have ample opportunities to experience the thrill of the race. Whether it’s the vibrant colours of spring, the lush greenery of summer, the breathtaking foliage of autumn, or the serene winter landscapes, each event offers a distinct and captivating experience.
