Hills and Skills
Roman Camp Trail Running Event – Hills and Skills!
Join Norfolk Trail Runners for one of our most popular trail running sessions, usually held in June at Roman Camp. Experience the thrill of Gavin’s Classic Loop, an exciting technical one mile trail that’s well-marked, full of elevation, and packed with character.
A Trail Running Challenge for Every Ability
Whether you’re new to trail running or a seasoned off-road runner, this hills and skills session is designed for everyone.
- Some runners treat it as an effort session or a race simulation, pushing themselves to see how long they can maintain pace.
- Others take it steady, completing just one or two laps at their own rhythm.
- Most runners find a sustainable pace that lets them enjoy the full duration.
No matter your approach, this event is all about improving your technical trail running skills, building confidence on uneven terrain, and tackling the hills that make trail running so rewarding.
Develop Your Trail Running Technique
Trail running is about more than speed – it’s about agility, focus, and adaptability. During this hills and skills session, you’ll:
- Practise handling technical trails with roots, rocks, and climbs
- Gain confidence running uphill and downhill
- Learn to manage your effort and endurance across varied terrain
Step out of your comfort zone and discover what makes trail running both challenging and exhilarating.
A Relaxed, Fun, and Inclusive Trail Running Event
At Norfolk Trail Runners, our goal is to make trail running enjoyable for everyone. Expect a friendly atmosphere, supportive runners, and a community that celebrates every effort, whether it’s your first lap or your fastest.
To refuel after your run, food and drinks are provided by the runners, a true team spirit to end the session.
