UK Trail Running Retreat 

UK Trail Running Retreat coming in September 2025

This September, I am delighted to launch my first Running Retreat based in the UK.  

After successfully hosting my Spanish run retreats for a number of years, I wanted to bring the experience to the UK to offer runners the opportunity to explore the amazing trails of the Marlborough Downs and the Ridgeway and to meet other runners in the most beautiful surroundings.

Set in the heart of the North Wessex Downs within Five acres of farmland and gardens, you will find an oasis of peace and quiet and the setting for our *NEW* 2025 Trail running retreat weekend at Overtown Manor.

You will be treated to a luxurious stay in one of Overtown’s unique, ensuite bedrooms,  access to the outdoor swimming pool and beautiful tranquil gardens. 

Nancy is the most amazing cook and you will be served delicious, locally sourced, homecooked food including healthy, nutritious breakfasts and hearty refuelling dinners after a day out on the trails of the Marlborough Downs.

The 2 night weekend break will include breakfast, dinner, drinks and snacks.

We will take you on 2 guided trail runs exploring the local area.  There will be educational discussions and the perfect way to end the day with a wonderful Pilates session led by the wonderful Sam and then time to wind down before dinner.

Before you leave we will explore more of the beautiful countryside before returning to Overtown for Sunday Brunch.

Are you ready for time to explore the trails, meet new people, experience the local produce, try a wonderful Pilates sessions and indulge in the delights of Overtown Manor

Small groups for the weekend – max 12 places available

Prices are inclusive of all the above for £485 per person for the weekend (Prices are per person sharing a twin room)

Trail runs: Saturday around 8 miles (option to reduce / extend) / Sunday 5-6 miles   

 

This is your chance to get away from it all for the weekend, meet like minded runners and to explore the trails and take in the beautiful surroundings.

The weekend is a real mix of trail running, education, Pilates, relaxation, great locally sourced food and a chance to get away from it all.  

There really is something for everyone on this short weekend break.

We will meet on Friday evening for a welcome drink and 2 course dinner in the wonderful surroundings of Overtown Manor.

After a brief update on the following day’s activities, you will have free time to explore the gardens and local area or relax in the outdoors as the sun sets.

On Saturday, after a nutritious, hearty breakfast, we will have the first of our short education sessions and then out on the trails for the run!

We will meet at a local pub for a delicious lunch and reflect on the mornings activities before either extending the run or making our way back to Overtown for some time to relax before our afternoon Pilates session.

The evening will give us time to sample some more amazing local produce at dinner and refuel after our day out.  We will host our second education session and a chance for lots of running chat and Q&A with a trail running lead.

On Sunday we will have an early start after a quick snack at breakfast and explore some more of the trails before returning to Overtown for Sunday Brunch.
