Steaming Down The Valley

Please choose your event:

Steaming Down the Valley is a scenic trail running event set in the heart of the Severn Valley, with race HQ at the Severn Valley Country Park, following woodland paths and riverside trails alongside the iconic Severn Valley Railway.

The race takes place from the Severn Valley Country Park's historic Country Park Halt station, starting by the sound of the steam train, and running south to Arley, where a finish line at the iconic Arley station greets runners on the 5k race. 10k runners will return back up the river upstream, racing against the returning train.

If you're less of a landlubber, there's even a boat race option too sailing downstream with the finish line at Arley!

This is a fully off-road race on a mix of dirt paths, woodland trail, gravel and grass, with natural undulations and uneven footing throughout. Conditions underfoot may include muddy or soft sections, particularly along the riverside, but this is not an extreme mud event. Trail shoes are recommended.
