Had a great day with Trail Runs,, fantastic route with Tom leading over varied terrain through woodland, over Heath,... across fields, paths, a few stretches of quiet lane and only one main road to cross. So well guided and supported. Lovely Pip (and cute as a button baby) meeting us with a feast of snacks and water to top up, and lots of encouraging words. Our group was mixed in pace but everyone was well looked after and able to run as they felt comfortable. Tom dealt calmly with the unexpected freshly ploughed fields, and even got an escapee herd of goats that ran with us for a couple of fields back to their grateful owners. Weather was perfect and it was a great advert for a beautiful area of Suffolk and trail running in general. Highly recommend and looking forward to booking again. Thanks all 👏👏👏read more

Ran Castle to Castle as my first trail run and the organisation, support and encouragement was second to none. A really... lovely relaxed run, plenty of stops to regroup, take photos and food and water was supplied. I had so much fun and absolutely loved it. Highly recommended. I will definitely be signing up to another event.read more

Really enjoyed the trail run from Orford Castle to Framlingham Castle. Tom was a great guide who looked after the... front and back of the group. His partner did the pit stops and laid on food for us. Magic way to spend a Saturday. If you get a chance - do it you will not regret it!read more

The Castle to Castle Run is a lovely trail that suits all abilities of runner. It was a very scenic if not sometimes... challenging terrain but it was a fabulous route. Tom was a good guide & ensured that the different abilities within the group were catered for & ensured that we regrouped at regular times. Pippa (Toms wife) was at the different checkpoints with welcomed snacks & fluids, gels etc & always ensured we were all ok. I’d definitely do another trail run with Tom.read more

Great first run with Tom on the Castle to Castle. It was a hot day but all water and snacks were provided by Tom and... delivered to several checkpoints along the way by his wife. The route was brilliant and one I did not know even though I lived around the area for several years! I will definitely look to run again at another event organised in the future. Thanks again.read more

Ran the Castle to Castle experience yesterday with a group of 11 other runners. Tom lead the way and was inclusive of... all abilities, allowing time for people to take in the scenery as well as having much needed breaks with the thanks to Pip in car support. A brilliant and tiring day that I will remember for a long time. Thank you.read more

Really enjoyed Castle to Castle yesterday, Tom is obviously a very experienced runner and looked after us well, all... abilities were catered for and looked after! Pip met us at various locations with plenty of water and snacks/ fuel for the next few miles which was fantastic as it was really hot at times. We’re used to very different trails so this has been tough but a great experience with gorgeous viewsread more
