The Summer Wine Trails
Family friendly Trail Runs and Challenge Walks in the beautiful Holme Valley
Our events are organised by the local community for the benefit of the local community.
We want to encourage everyone to have fun, and get active in the outdoors.
We think we have a beautiful area to be proud of, and we want to show it off!
Organised by volunteers - all the profit goes back to the local community.
More Info
What's going on?
Fancy a challenge? Enter our Trail Run and compete at a faster pace. This event is for people who are comfortable running 8-10km of hilly terrain. These races will be fully insured by ARC.
Want a fun time for the kids? We're organising Children's races and games to play.
Fancy a challenge? Adults can Enter our Challenge Walk / Run?
Entry is just £10 or £12 on the day for Trail Race or Challenge Walk.
Children's races are short, fun distances and cost just £3 (pay on the day.) Every child participant will receive an edible medal. Every adult participant will receive a race momento. As well as prizes for the winners in various categories, there will be a large number of 'spot' prizes for both adult races which will be given out randomly to people throughout the field of competition. So if you complete the course, you might well win a prize.
Race Day Information

On The Day - Stairway to Heaven
Parking and Registration *important*
For Event 2, 'Stairway to Heaven'
-
You will park, register and pick up your race numbers at Holmbridge Church. The Start and Finish will be nearby. Refreshments, kids races, results, spot prizes etc will be organised at Holmbridge Church.
For Event 2, we will be using the Car Park at Holmbridge Church Hall until it is full. We are not anticipating there will be enough cars to cause a parking problem, if people are considerate.
Overflow parking is considerate local parking or on Brownhill Lane. If we are able to arrange more local parking (eg. local fields) for the races then we will inform you, please keep an eye on our Newsletter / Social Media. This would be weather dependent. If you choose to park elsewhere, please ensure you do not inconvenience local residents as this may cause a problem for the viability of future events.
