Quest for the Golden Carrot

56.1k

The ultimate quest! Complete all 3 challenges and earn eligibility for the Carrot Dash. Will you bring home the Golden Carrot?

Why take on The Quest?

56.1 km is a milestone for some and a walk in the park for others. The broken-down nature of this weekend event presents the ideal opportunity to take your running endurance to new levels, or if you’re an experienced runner, test your speed and strategy as you blaze each trail. There’s a real mixture of surfaces, scenery and seriously challenging undulations, so there is a test to be found for all.

More than a race…

The Run Rabbit Trail Festival aims to bring runners of different levels and expertise together to share the experience of their encounters over the two days. Individual goals are different, so everyone has a story to tell. In addition to the entertainment on offer, it’s sure to be a memory making event.

About The Festival

The Run Rabbit Trail Festival was created as something special  – a unique quest that will challenge runners of all abilities, as well as showcasing other activities and local businesses that are important to us.

Organised by the team at Race Harborough, whose ethos is to deliver quality, friendly, inclusive, and enjoyable events in beautiful surroundings, at fair prices, and with minimal impact to the environment.

From the founder:

“There really isn’t a challenge quite like The Quest.
Big distances, serious hills and, if you are to walk away with the Golden Carrot.. you’ll need lightning speed”

Brian Corcoran – Co-Founder, RRTF
