About this trip

Join us on a stunning trail weekend as we set out to run 80km off the stunning Cotswold Way - running from North to South.


This is a perfect trail adventure for those looking to get into trail running or for this wishing to step up their game. 


This fully-guided and fully-supported adventure takes in outstanding trails as we run our way through chocolate box villages, ancient monuments, rolling fields before finishing in the impressive city of Bath.


We’ve split the trail adventure into sections - running flexible distances of approx. 15 - 20 miles per day depending on how you are feeling - giving us ample time to get the most out of our journey. We’ll take our time with lots of stops and insights along the way, maximising the experience and adjusting the pace to whatever suits you. 


We have a support vehicle with us throughout providing us water, nutrition and supplies, ferrying our baggage from point to point, daily sessions on running technique, massages and evening inspirational talks which leaves you nothing to worry about so that you can focus on the journey.


We’ll complete 80km of the Cotswold Way over the course of 3-days where we finish our journey at the doors of Bath Abbey - it is set to be a cracker.

The trip met all my expectations. Great country, great outdoors experience, great people and great organization. Thank you for the organizers, guides and everyone involved.

Awesome running trails and beautiful scenery - that crossing from Albania into Montenegro on the first day was stunning. My feet took a bit of a battering on the descents as I hadn't prepared particularly well for that but the Pure Trails crew patched me up every morning and made sure I was good to go. The accommodation was great and the meals were delicious, healthy and hearty. I would have no hesitation in recommending Pure Trails to anyone who loves to run, loves meeting new and like-minded people - you'll be in safe hands every step of the way and you'll have an absolute blast. I did a trip with them last year, this year and am looking for my next trip with them in summer 2025. Thank you to Charlie, Matt and Baton for making this such an unbelievably memorable adventure - you are all awesome human beings and I can't wait for my next adventure with you guys.

Unbelievable scenery and trails for running. Extremely supportive, friendly and fun guides who catered for all abilities and ensured everything when smoothly throughout the trip, giving me a very easy life! It was also wonderful to get some historical and cultural information about the places that we went too, and the numerous waterfalls and pools to swim in were an added bonus.
