we run for smiles
Welcome to the Ashdown Forest Trail Runners – we are a social running club, full of people who enjoy running and exploring the beautiful trails around the Ashdown Forest area.
There is a variety of runners in our club – those who love the hills, running in the rain, talking the whole way or even a sprint finish! The mix of runners, a connection to nature, the beautiful trails and some wonderful friends that are made along the way; all make it a wonderful group to be a part of.
We are so fortunate to live nearby the vast, and beautiful, Ashdown Forest, it would be a shame not to explore it on foot – and the best way is running! Born from a love of the outdoors, the physical and mental health benefits of running in nature and the friends we’ve made along the way, we are set to help more people explore, learn and develop their trail running skills. But, most of all enjoy the sport of running. Be it for fitness, fun, social, or race preparation we welcome all trail runners!
If you love to run, then come and join us. Various sessions are held across the week, to cater for different paces and distances.
