Explore the stunning trails of Thursley National Nature Reserve.
The Thursley National Nature Reserve at 325 hectares is one of the largest remaining fragments of heathland in Surrey. The reserve has extensive areas of open dry heathland, peat bogs(!), pine and deciduous woodlands. the area is home to 20 species of dragonflies and damselflies who live around the open ponds of the reserve as well as an array of birds which include Dartford warblers, stone chats, long-tailed tits, gold crests, red starts, white throats and wheatears.
This is the flattest run that we offer at Running Adventures, perfect for trail running first timers. We will explore this beautiful area, including running the famous boardwalk, which recently won the title of 'Britain's Favourite Path'.
This run is perfect for people new to trail running, runners who simply like to meet like minded people, or those that haven't felt comfortable running trails alone at dusk or night.
🌅 Sunset runs occur during the lighter, warmer months and offer stunning running at dusk, with blissful temperatures and fantastic views, the perfect end to any day.
🌌 Night runs occur during the darker, colder months and offer the unique experience of running trails at night by headtorch, in a safe group environment.

Pace: This is not a race! We will run as a group and share this experience together. You should be able to comfortably run an average pace of 10 min/miles | 6 min/km for prolonged periods of time on the trail, and have a suitable level of fitness.

Kit: A full kit list will be provided, I have Silva head torches for the evening run, as well as Salomon trail shoes available to test.
Torches: Running Adventures are proud to partner with Silva and have a range of Silva torches for you to trial on the evening run.
Getting there: Thursley is just off the A3. Full details will be provided.
Info: We will be in touch with further detailed information and instructions a few days before the run, if you haven't heard from us, please get in contact.

You can expect to receive a lush beer (subject to availability) at the end of the run to either enjoy with your new found running pals, or take home to have another time.

"My friend and I really enjoyed our Night Run with Matt. It was our first night run. We felt the pace was great - we had to push ourselves but it was a good level of challenge. Even that first hill! The stops were welcomed but not too frequent. The route was awesome. I have run those trails many times during the day but there's something atmospheric and meditative doing it at night. Although we were at the back of the pack we didn't feel pressurised to speed up and there was no judgment, just a friendly group of runners out for the same blast of endorphins! I highly recommend Running Adventures with Matt and will keep an eye out for more opportunities to join in!"
