About this race
THE COURSE
Clee Hill Half Marathon Trail is a half marathon trail race through the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Expect varied terrain, exposed ridgelines, woodland tracks, and classic Shropshire views. The route is fully marked with tape and signs, and marshals are positioned at key junctions.
Underfoot conditions vary with the weather. Trail shoes are strongly recommended. Road shoes are not suitable for most sections of this course.
START & FINISH
Runners gather at Cleehill Village Hall, Shropshire. Allow time for registration, bag drop, and a short safety briefing before the start. The finish area includes medals, refreshments, and plenty of encouragement from the Runningmonk team.
