Welcome to the Bradenham Blast—one of the UK’s most highly rated trail running events! Whether you’re tackling the 5km, 10km, or a half-marathon, runners of all abilities are welcome. Renowned as one of the ‘toughest and friendliest trail races’—and undoubtedly among the most scenic—you’ll wind your way through peaceful beech woodlands and along rugged trails offering spectacular views of the Chiltern countryside. Set within the UK’s only arable nature reserve, with an abundance of vibrant wildflowers, this event promises challenging hills, breathtaking vistas, and a fantastic, supportive race atmosphere.
Course details
A fast start blasting across Bradenham Village before a lung-busting climb up onto Naphill Common.
A lovely section of open woodland follows before a fast and firm trail back into the village.
The routes then re-join the 10km route with a final couple of hills to finish before dropping back down to the finish line.
Not getting a PB is guaranteed.
10km Route
A very pretty and scenic route around the Bradenham Estate.

A final climb awaits before traversing through the top of the woods and a final 1.5km descent down a track to the finish.
