The very best in community-based, family-friendly sports days (or just good-to-be-outdoors days).Lymm Festival trail Races 2018

Whether you are an accomplished runner or a relative beginner; a supporter of a whizzy kid, or just looking for the heart of your community and the perfect picnic venue… The  gorgeous grounds of Lymm High School is the home of the Lymm Trail Races – and the perfect place to be.

The Lymm Festival Trail Races offer a kids fun run, a 5K and a 10K race, all based at the lovely site that is Lymm High School. A lap around the playing field for the fun run then extends into the woods of Helmsdale and Spud Wood for the 5K and 10K races.

This year the 5K race offers an extensive range of age category prizes – from Junior (U18), right through to Senior veterens 75+. (For a full list of prize categories see our FAQ page).

Organised by Lymm Runners, with ALL proceeds going to great causes (The Childrens’ Adventure Farm Trust and the Woodland Trust), this is the perfect place to spend a summer’s morning. The races start and finish on the playing fields at Lymm High School, Oughtrington Lane, Lymm, WA13 0RB.

2019 Fun Run - startFun Run

The Children’s Fun Run takes place on Lymm High School playing fields and is a course of approximately 1 mile or 1.6km. Young runners will set off in pursuit of our intrepid Woodland Warrior! We believe he has been training very hard again for this year’s race so we will need some super-speedy runners to try to catch him.

We are encouraging entrants to dress up in their favourite fancy dress outfits.  A prize will be awarded for the best-fancy-dressed boy and girl – and we look forward to seeing your amazing costumes.

Fun Run Finishers medals 2020All fun runners will receive a splendid Lymm Runners medal – and lots of encouragement!

Parents or carers are welcome to accompany/support their children during the Fun Run if needed, but please keep the family dog at home as dogs are not permitted on Lymm High School playing fields.

All profits from the Fun Run go to the Woodland Trust, the wonderful charity that manages Spud Wood.

5 & 10K CourseHappy runners - Festival Trail Races 2018

The route for the 5km and 10km races starts on the running track on the playing fields at Lymm High School, goes around the playing fields, along a footpath through Helsdale Wood, around Spud Wood and then returns to the playing fields to finish.  The 5km race is one lap of the route, and the 10km race is two laps of the same route.
