Talking Trails - Spring Equinox Run

Headtorches on, it's time for a magical evening on the trails!

Join us for a relaxed, social 10-mile(ish) Equinox run through the Welford countryside and along the canal paths - all under the early spring night sky.

This isn’t about pace or performance.

It’s about moving your body, feeling safe on the trails after dark, and getting outside with a group that actually feels welcoming. We hike the hills, jog the runnable bits, and keep things easy, supportive, and confidence-building.

Perfect if you're:

• training for an ultra
• building night-running confidence
• wanting to meet friendly, like-minded runners
• craving a grounding way to mark the Spring Equinox in nature

Everyone’s welcome - whether you’re experienced on trails or giving off-road running a go for the first time.

What to Expect

1. A guided, non-competitive trail experience
2. A chilled, conversational pace
3. Sponsor product samples + exclusive discounts
4. Goodies at the finish + aftercare advice
5. A supportive debrief to chat about what worked (and what didn’t)
6. Photos shared in our private WhatsApp group
7. A community vibe with plenty of returning regulars

What to Bring

1. Headtorch (mandatory)
2. Snacks
3. Water if you need it

Pace

This is not a race! We will run as a group and share this experience together. You should be able to comfortably run an average pace of 11 min/miles for prolonged periods of time on the trail, and have a suitable level of fitness.

Meet Your Guide

I’m Hollie Tidball, a trail runner, guide, and the heart behind Talking Trails. I’ve spent years exploring beautiful routes, taking on big challenges, and falling in love with the freedom of the trails.

I’m passionate about helping people feel confident, connected, and inspired outdoors. I love sharing stories, tips, and little nuggets of trail wisdom along the way and creating a space where everyone feels welcome.

When you join me on a run, you don’t need to worry about routes, navigation, pace, or getting lost. I take care of everything, so you can switch off, enjoy the views, move your body, and have fun.
