Sherwood Pines 13.1

Hi everyone, 

We just want to take this opportunity to firstly thank all those participants who turned out on the day. We know there were alot of people completing not only their first half marathon but trail half marathon. You guys were awesome. 

Hopefully, the route has inspired you to do more trail running in the future. 

Secondly we would to give a huge shout out to the volunteers for the day. They certainly made the event a success and helped motivate the runners, especially MP6. Without them the day would have conitued to be postponed. So again, thank you all volunteers. 

We would like to apologise for a small part of the route being sabotaged. We were notified that someone had knocked a sign down at mile 3 (twice), so for those that did the extra distance we apologise and we salute you for going the extra distance and not giving up. Well done. 

The results are on the following link if you didn't see it on facebook: 


Well done to all the leaders in their categories. 

Thank you all and thank you for your patience.

Hi all,

 thankfully the race is confirmed to be back on track. We have had some great offer of volunteers from a local running club to help make the event hapen. 

We are totally grateful and sorry to everyone for the big mess around. 

If you have booked onto another race due to this cancelation we will transfer your place to the 2018 event. 

And just to confirm all the other race details are the same. No change.

Thank you all and especially the volunteers.

It is with great regret that we will not be able to host the Marathon Trails UK Sherwood Pines Half Marathon due on the 14th May 2017. Unfortunately we have a number of volunteers drop out and we have not been able to replace the required safe amount in time. This decision was not made lightly as we have already incurred costs for the event which you have all paid for but in conjuction with advice from the Sherwood Pines park staff we have postpned the event. We know it is really disapointing for everyone who has signed up for this event, but as you will all be aware that safety of everyone comes first and should not be 'winged' so to speak.  The event will take place with the new date looking to be early October before it gets too cold. 

With this new date we will then seek professional paid staff for the event to avoid this happening again. 

We know you will be at the least disapointed and frustrated but again, we know that safety is of the upmost paramount and it would be reckless of us to not have enough safety staff in place. 

Our sincerest apologies.

For those that are not familiar with Sherwood Pines, the event registration will be held in the hut behind GO APE! You can see it from the main car park. Also note there is NO BAG DROP. As you will only be a few hundred metres from the car park to the start line.
