Testimonials
“Love Trails epitomised everything I love about adventure: exploring wild landscapes, pushing my physical limits, surrounded by nature, sleeping under the stars, campfires, great food, great ale and meeting lots of inspiring people. 10/10”
“Breathtaking scenery, amazing running trails, awesome friends, a chilled lake, soothing hot showers, great BBQ - a superbly well organized and fantastic weekend!”
“Lovetrails combines the best of trail running, with the best of a festival, with the best of the British countryside. I came out a better runner, and with new friends which is as much as anyone could ask for in a weekend. See you in 2017!”
“Thanks again for a brilliant weekend, it was well and truly awesome.”
“The Love Trails weekender was a breath of fresh air, literally! I enjoyed so much escaping away to the countryside for a couple of nights with a great bunch of like minded people. Cosying up around the campfire at night to listen to inspiring talks from a variety of people about how they fit adventure into their lives was the perfect end to an exhausting but exhilarating day out on the trails. The whole weekend left me wanting more of the same - I’m already looking forward to next year.”
“One of the best weekends of the year! It was a blast to spend it with fellow runners, explore some beautiful trails, inspire each other and party. Phenomenal location, great organisation and fantastic vibes - that’s what the Love Trails Festival was all about. See you next year!”
“The Love Trails Festival was an incredible experience. George and Theo did a brilliant job organising the event, meaning that all we had to worry about was rocking up! The runs were challenging and rewarding, the company was welcoming and inspiring - can’t wait for next year.”
“If you like great company, great landscape and great running the Love Trails Festival will be right up your street! Campfires by night and trails by day makes for a great weekend, all whilst surrounded by people who love running and adventure just as much as you! Can’t wait for the next one.”
“I must tell you the Love Trail Weekender was the highlight of my year. One of the most spectacular trails in the UK, incredibly special people, super organized with a few unexpected extras like the inspiring talks around the campfire. I’ve done a lot of camping, trailrunning, hiking in my life and if I would take all good memories from all those trips, it felt like this Love Trails Weekender had all of them.”
