THE
VIRTUAL
TOLKIEN TRAIL RACE
One medal to rule them all, one race to find them,
one distance to win them all, and on the Pennine Trails earn them...
6/6/20 - 25/7/20
The Virtual Tolkien Trail Race Details
For one year only... We will be hosting the Tolkien Trail virtually!
Due to the ongoing pandemic, we sadly had to postpone our 2020 event until 2021...
All is not lost, however, as we still have our precious medals, we still have enthusiastic fans of Tolkien tales wanting them, and there's a whole country in desperate need of a trail race!
So dust of the trusty racing boots, plot your own 10k route, sign up to our race and earn yourself the one ring medal!
