Golden Trail National Series in UK & Netherlands

THE GOLDEN TRAIL SERIES EXISTS TO CELEBRATE AND GROW THE SPORT OF TRAIL RUNNING.

The Golden Trail National Series is back in 2024. This year the top 2 men and woman will be invited along with the top U23 male and female to the Golden Trail Series World Finals!

The Golden Trail Series exists to celebrate and evolve trail running as a sport. The series stands out in the modern sports world respecting unique values like parity, equity, transparency, and honesty. The races have been chosen to highlight the most iconic events in the sport today.

The UK/NL National series kicks off in The Netherlands at the Vuurtoren Trail in March, where the diverse terrain and sandy dunes present their own unique challenge. We then head to the Cornish Coastline to tackle The KvK, 1000 meters of elevation across some on the most spectacular coastline single track trails. The third round takes us back to the iconic southern hills of The Netherlands at the Koning van Spanje. The remaining two qualifying rounds take us over to Wales, starting in the north at the Trail Half Hanner racing along some of the most stunning forestry and heathland in the UK before heading to the south of Wales at Love Trails Festival where the trails and party vibes will be equal in their level of epic.

After athletes have competed in any two of the qualifying rounds, the top ten male and female athletes will be invited to our brand new national final race, the Buttermere Skyline, which will test athletes over technical trails with over 2000meters of elevation and some of the most magical views this iconic Lake District destination has to offer.
