Training Runs

Get ready - Queen of the Suburbs training runs are nearly here!

We’re bringing together the community for a series of group training runs for the Queen of the Suburbs Ultra and Trail 25k, and the vibes are going to be high.

These runs are for everyone - whether you’re running Queen of the Suburbs, thinking about it, or just keen for a solid trail run with a great crew. No entry required. Friends absolutely encouraged.

Training Run #1

15th February

Join us for our first official QOTS training run, designed to help runners get familiar with the early miles of the official race route in a relaxed, supportive environment.

We’ll be running two route options that follow the opening section of the official course. WRE & Camino Ultra ambassadors will be spread throughout the group - at the front, middle, and back - to support runners of all paces and make sure no one is left behind.

You’re welcome to run as little or as much of the planned route as you like. You don’t need to be entered in the race to take part, and all paces are welcome.

Start/finish

Boston Manor

The training run will start and finish at Boston Manor, the official race start location. Meeting here gives runners the chance to experience the opening miles of the course exactly as they’ll be on race day, helping build confidence and familiarity ahead of the event.

W3W Location

Routes

Two route options will be available: 16.7km and 9.3km, both following the early miles of the official race course. This gives runners the chance to familiarise themselves with key sections of the route.

You’re welcome to run as little or as much as you like, and we recommend having the route downloaded to your watch or phone on the day.

Whatsapp group
