The Love Trails Experience

What's Love Trails Festival like?

We created Love Trails Festival because we wanted an event that combined trail running, with the best outdoor adventures, with the things we love most about music festivals. The collective euphoria of watching a live band play on a big festival stage... The runner's high & feeling of pure joy from running trails or jumping into the sea. These are experiences we wanted to bring together into one magic & totally unique weekend.

Love Trails Festival is the perfect balance of trail running, adventure, music & wellbeing!

Trail Running

Trail running at Love Trails Festival takes place on the trails and coastal paths of the Gower Peninsula, the UK's first designated & protected Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). Strictly non-competitive, the trail running at Love Trails Festival is social, fun & all about having the best running experience possible! You can join Guided Trail Runs (or "GTRs" for short), Marked Course Trail Runs, Just Show Up Running Experiences or Extra Adventures across the weekend. With dozens of runs scheduled, there really is something for everyone. Read more about how the trail running at Love Trails Festival works on our FAQ page.

Adventure

Going on an ourdoor adventure makes us feel alive - there's nothing better! Adventure is at the beating heart of the Love Trails Festival experience. Whether it's exploring a new trail, trying something new or challenging yourself... You'll find an adventure waiting for you around every corner. Run to Wild Swim, trail running from the festival site to Broughton Bay, is one of the most popular adventure experiences at Love Trails Festival. To enhance your weekend even further, optionally, you can also book onto adventure activities like Run to Coasteering, Run to Sea Kayaking, Run to Paragliding, Run to Surf & Run to SUP!

What people are saying

"Simply the friendliest, most scenic, chilled, fun-filled, loved-up, work-hard-play-hard, spotlessly clean and feel-good festival I've ever been to. Thank you to all the LT team and support crews, you were magical. xoxo"

Nikki Berry-Lakin

"Genuinely the best festival we've ever been to - every little thing was considered, it was expertly organised and enough things to do to last a week!! it was an inspiring atmosphere and a safe, comfortable and crazy fun environment. Literally couldn't recommend it any higher. High five you geniuses!"

Katie Baker

"Love Trails Festival was absolutely brilliant, the trail running was world class but this is so much more than a running festival, it's a collection of people who want to embrace all forms of outdoor exercise and immerse themselves in nature whilst also having a few beers, racing beer miles and dancing into the night."
