Trail Run West Midlands

Coaching and Trail Runs with Andrew Pye

Heart of England Trail Running Camp

25th - 26th of May

Waseley Hills Country Park, Gannow Green Lane, Rubery, Birmingham

Trail Run West Midlands and Optimize Fitness have teamed up to provide you with a fantastic practical and interactive weekend of trail running specific skills, on the slopes of the Waseley Hills.

New: Poles Training

If you’ve got a long ultra, multi-day project or mountain race on your calendar, a pair of running poles can become your new best friends.

Get confident using poles to help you move more efficiently, while avoiding common mistakes that can lead to annoyance for your fellow trail users or injury for yourself.

We offer two poles-specific sessions, which can be done 1:1 or in a small group with numbers capped at 5 so that everyone gets the maximum individual coaching and has a chance to ask any questions they might have.

Midland Tops Round

As I approach my 40th birthday, I was thinking about why there wasn’t a ‘round’ joining the hills of the West Midlands. I love these hills, I love trail and fell running, so I have created this challenge especially for the midland fell runners.
