Goring Gap Trails Festival features stunning trail runs and walks along the Thames and through the beautiful villages of the Chiltern Hills. Our routes are predominantly flat; they are easy to follow, waymarked and marshalled in tricky areas, and no navigation skills are required. Our 52K ultra is the perfect first ultra. If you are looking for your first step in the ultra world, this is the race for you.
