About the event
Carnival vibes at Denbies
Black to the Trails® is the UK and Europe’s most ethnically diverse trail running event and, in 2027, it’s going to be even bigger and better!
The event has been designed and will be directed and run by Black Trail Runners for Black people, people of the global majority, and allies who want to do their bit to increase ethnic diversity in the UK trail running scene.
Black to the Trails® is an inclusive run event for EVERYONE no matter what your ability. There are distances for the kids (under 16s go free!), the brand new and the more experienced trail runner.
This event will be truly unique in its offering to all who attend. We’ll be bringing feel-good carnival vibes to Denbies Wine Estate. We guarantee, you’ll come for the run and stay for the fun!
Throughout the morning, as well as the run distances on offer, we’ll have a variety of activities, food, live music and much more to keep your post-run endorphins raised and the party vibes high.

More than just a trail run
Come for the run, stay for the fun
We are bringing the carnival vibes to Denbies Wine Estate. At its heart, Black to the Trails is a community event so we will have a range of activities to enjoy throughout the day including face painting, DJs live run commentary, food concessions reflecting our cultures and more.
What you get
For completing your run you get a Black to the Trails® medal and a goody bag.
You’ll also be able to purchase Black Trail Runners merchandise - because representation matters when we are out on the trails and our buffs, socks, t-shirts and hoodies help communicate who we are and what we stand for.
But more than that, you get to experience the joy of trail running at a vibrant, diverse and inclusive event. Black to the Trails®, by Black Trail Runners, is the future of trail running.
