Course Description

The Triple Trail Races takes its name from Kent’s three most iconic trails: the North Downs Way, Greensand Way, and Weald Way. Together, they form a stunning journey through the heart of England’s Garden County, featuring rolling hills, ancient woodlands, serene orchards, and historic landmarks like Leeds Castle and the Cobham Mausoleum. 

The 100km Full Loop Ultra is Kent’s only single-loop ultra marathon, starting and finishing at Loddington Farm. The route connects all three trails seamlessly, with no repeated sections, offering constant variety and breathtaking views throughout.

For runners seeking a shorter ultra challenge, the 50km Half Loop Ultra follows the second half of the 100km course, starting in the beautiful village of Cobham and finishing at Race HQ

The 25km Race offers an accessible entry point into the world of trail running. Covering the final stretch of the Triple Trail route, it begins at Detling Village and follows the North Downs Way past scenic woodlands and the iconic Leeds Castle before joining the rest of the field at the finish line at Loddington Farm. With a generous 10-hour cut-off, it’s ideal for newcomers, speed-focused runners, and race walkers alike.

With distances for all, the Triple Trail Races 2025 delivers an unforgettable experience on Kent’s most stunning trails.
