Due to the nature of our work, and engagement in it by you our members, our community partner - Maverick - has allocated a number of places for Black Trail Runners members at their Cotswolds Trail 2026 race.
Date: 16 May 2026
About: Back for the 11th year in the Cotswold Hills, Britain’s biggest AONB, as well as the most quintessentially English place we’ve ever seen. Leaving from the grand Sudeley Castle in the heart of the Cotswold Hills and set in 1200 acres of estate land, this won’t be a walk in the park.
All routes start at the Tudor Castle and take you straight out onto the trails. The routes join multiple different Long Distance Paths, including the Winchcombe, Gloucestershire and Cotswold Way. All courses will take you on a rolling adventure showcasing the hidden gems of the northern Cotswolds.
Whichever route you choose, you will be sure to experience undulating terrain through picturesque villages, breathtaking countryside and even past famous ancient sites. Whether you are an experienced trail runner or just starting out, these routes will challenge, excite and reward you. Whilst you may have to slow to a power hike up some of the hills, you will have more time to take in the surrounding scenery. We even encourage you to stop and catch your breath as you look out across the green pastures of the Cotswold valleys.
Routes:
50k Ultra - 51 km
Marathon - 43 km
Half Marathon - 23 km
Middle - 15 km
Short - 7 km
If you would like to be in with a chance of being selected to run Maverick Cotswolds Trail on behalf of Black Trail Runners, please complete the form below. The deadline for applications is 23.59pm 30 January 2026. Successful applicants will be contacted by 6 February 2026.
We are a community and campaigning charity with the mission to increase the inclusion, participation and representation of people of Black ethnicity in trail running.
Black Trail Runners is a registered charity in England and Wales (1194094). Upon assessing event registrations, Black Trail Runners members who have submitted ethnicity data that corresponds with our objectives will be prioritised.
