No reviews of the Staveley Trails, and nothing on what people wore. Both are things no organiser publishes and every runner wants before they enter — how it actually went, and what was on your feet.

What you’re in for
From Staveley Recreation Ground up above the Kentmere valley and back past tarns and through old woodland. A 5k, a 10k, a half marathon and fun trails for under-twelves. The half goes further, over Green Quarter Fell and past Skeggles Water into Longsleddale. Short bits of tarmac, grassy path, stony bridleway and a few stiles, and a last climb up Reston Scar they call the Sting in the Trail. Fully marked and marshalled.
